From the Back Cover

Semiconductor Modeling: For Simulating Signal, Power, and Electromagnetic Integrity gives designers and engineers a broad view of using semiconductor models to design high-speed circuit boards. Most issues in the field of designing high-frequency circuits, from the beginning of modeling and simulation using EDA tools to future trends, are discussed and integrated. The main technical focus of Semiconductor Modeling: For Simulating Signal, Power, and Electromagnetic Integrity is the use of simulation to help solve practical engineering problems. The book draws on over 90 years of diverse technical experience and brings together theory, tools, components, software, and experience to help engineers create successful electronic products. This book will help engineers understand how to approach problem solving while designing high-speed circuits. In particular, it helps engineers in the following areas: · Encountering non-existent, incomplete, and erroneous semiconductor circuit models. · Applying EDA tools to achieve practical designs despite model limitations. · Grasping the basic high-speed digital, RF, and EMC design concepts that guide design intent. · Applying EDA tools to cutting-edge digital technology. · Working with suppliers, CAD team members, and others. · Understanding the processes and procedures that enable and enhance the design process.   The book presents the material in a manner that is helpful to circuit and product design engineers who have little or no specialized knowledge of high-speed digital design or semiconductors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Broadest Coverage of IBIS, January 19, 2007
This review is from: Semiconductor Modeling:: For Simulating Signal, Power, and Electromagnetic Integrity (Hardcover)
This book provides a very readable and excellent resource for several modeling approaches needed in advanced design. It includes the broadest coverage to date of all aspects of the IBIS Standard, now well-established in industry. Formal syntactical topics are included along with important practical concerns of model quality and proper usage.

Connecting IBIS with other modeling formats and methods works well and preserves continuity in addressing multiple design issues. So this book is very valuable addition to one's library.

4.0 out of 5 stars latest simulation ideas, November 17, 2006
This review is from: Semiconductor Modeling:: For Simulating Signal, Power, and Electromagnetic Integrity (Hardcover)
The book offers the latest ideas in more accurate simulations of circuits laid down in semiconductors. The emphasis is at a level above basic device physics simulations. The latter is not really dealt with much. Instead, a reader who might be an electrical engineer needs to design at larger scales of a circuit.

You get a discussion of how to use the latest EDA tools. But note that the book is not confined to simulations. One key issue is how to compare simulations against actual measurements taken from live circuits. The IBIS model is also a major portion of the text. Knowledge of how to use IBIS is now often as necessary as knowing SPICE, for many engineers.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Semiconductor Modeling:: For Simulating Signal, Power, and Electromagnetic Integrity (Hardcover)
Probably the WORST book I've purchased since I graduated from MIT 48 years ago.
Reads like a novel... all BS and no meat :-(
Implies definitive IBIS, but lots of superfluous ANCIENT modeling. Sheeeesh!
