A cutting-edge guide to the theory and practice of high-speed digital system design An understanding of high-speed interconnect phenomena is essential for digital designers who must deal with the challenges posed by the ever-increasing operating speeds of today's microprocessors. This book provides a much-needed, practical guide to the state of the art of modern digital system design, combining easily accessible explanations with immensely useful problem-solving strategies. Written by three leading Intel engineers, High-Speed Digital System Design clarifies difficult and often neglected topics involving the effects of high frequencies on digital buses and presents a variety of proven techniques and application examples. Extensive appendices, formulas, modeling techniques as well as hundreds of figures are also provided.Coverage includes:* A thorough introduction to the digital aspects of basic transmission line theory* Crosstalk and nonideal transmission line effects on signal quality and timings* The impact of packages, vias, and connectors on signal integrity* The effects of nonideal return current paths, high frequency power delivery, and simultaneous switching noise* Explanations of how driving circuit characteristics affect the quality of the digital signal* Digital timing analysis at the system level that incorporates high-speed signaling effects into timing budgets* Methodologies for designing high-speed buses and handling the very large number of variables that affect interconnect performance* Radiated emission problems and how to minimize system noise* The practical aspects of making measurements in high-speed digital systems
