Handbook of Digital Techniques for High-Speed Design: Design Examples, Signaling and Memory Technologies, Fiber Optics, Modeling, and Simulation to Ensure Signal Integrity [Hardcover]

Tom Granberg (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 013142291X | ISBN-13: 978-0131422919 | Publication Date: June 3, 2004

This practical handbook fills in gaps that other textbooks on high-speed design don't discuss, covering every aspect of high-speed board-level digital design. Several design examples at high Gigabit per second data rates are presented. Discusses highest-speed logic and interface families of devices, relevant applications, and device speeds versus how far signals transmit with good signal integrity. A quick-reference overview of each device family is also provided. High-speed design rules are presented for both engineering design and printed circuit board layout. Emphasizes designing high-speed backplanes, driving cabling, bus architecture and topology. Discusses IBIS and SPICE modeling, simulations, design processes, and over 30 design automation tools. Quantifies signal integrity using jitter and bit error rate measurements, eye diagrams, time-domain reflectometry and transmission. Details high-speed transmission line and parasitic effects, cabling, connectors, single-ended/differential terminations, lab test equipment, and intellectual property. Dedicated chapter on fiber optics and when to use.

Circuits, Devices andSystems Digital Techniques for High-SpeedDesign

TOM GRANBERG

High-speed digitaldesign—Complete, current, and practical

Practicing engineers whowork with high-speed digital designknow that a thorough, fully up-to-date resource is crucial for keeping pacewith rapidly changing technologies. Senior and graduate-level engineeringstudents need a similar resource, but with added introductory material andplenty of exercises. Only one book fills the need of both audiences—Handbookof Digital Techniques for High-Speed Design, by electronics expert TomGranberg.

This practical handbookcovers every aspect of board-level design, starting with the basics of designtrends, SerDes and bus technologies, and signal integrity. In-depth topics includememory technologies, fiber optics, modeling and simulation, design tools andthe design process, CML controlled-impedance drivers, differential andmixed-mode S-parameters, and the emerging protocols and technologies of RapidIOand PCI-Express. Tom Granberg also features major, detailed high-speed designexamples—including a BLVDS SerDes design and a design with highgigabit-per-second serial links using WarpLink devices.

This book

• Provides detailed technical information on CML, SSTL, GTL/GTL+/GTLP, LVDS, Bus LVDS, M-LVDS, LVDM, ECL, PECL, LVPECL, HSTL, and more—plus applications best suited for each

• Discusses IBIS and SPICE modeling and simulation, plus a full range of electronic design automation (EDA) tools

• Emphasizes backplane and bus design with detailed guidelines and design rules

• Covers fiber optics in detail—and when it makes sense to use them, and much more!

This book was written withtwo audiences in mind—practicing engineers who work with high-speeddigital electronics, and graduate and undergraduate-level students in collegesand universities who need to learn the concepts and techniques of high-speeddigital design before going to work in industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Resource, June 4, 2004

By 

Craig C. (Harrisburg, Pa United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Handbook of Digital Techniques for High-Speed Design: Design Examples, Signaling and Memory Technologies, Fiber Optics, Modeling, and Simulation to Ensure Signal Integrity (Hardcover)

The book is a must have for anyone interested in the latest technologies, and their implementations all wrapped up in one place. I have a lot of references on my desk, but this book is one of my favorites.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is involved in high speed digital design.
