This book provides a good overview of the above-mentioned SI and EMC issues, and discusses
how to design boards with a careful consideration of signal and power integrity. Using
realistic case studies and downloadable software examples, a leading expert from industry
and his academic coauthor demonstrate today’s best practices for designing and modeling
interconnects in order to distribute power and minimize noise efficiently.
The reader will enjoy a review of the most important phenomena determining the SI and
EMC of PCB systems equipped with digital circuits. The aim of this book is to highlight the
effects of variation in design parameters on system performance, and to provide criteria for
design. For all of the phenomena mentioned, mathematical models are specified. Many of
these models are ready to implement in high-level formula-evaluation programs and/or circuit
simulators, and the authors provide useful examples of such implementation.
