The #1 Practical Guide to Signal Integrity Design—Now Updated with Extensive New Coverage!

This book brings together up-to-the-minute techniques for finding, fixing, and avoiding signal integrity problems in your design. Drawing on his work teaching more than five thousand engineers, world-class signal and power integrity expert Eric Bogatin systematically reviews the root causes of all six families of signal integrity problems and shows how to design them out early in the design cycle. This edition’s extensive new content includes a brand-new chapter on S-parameters in signal integrity applications, and another on power integrity and power distribution network design—topics at the forefront of contemporary electronics design.

Coverage includes 

• A fully up-to-date introduction to signal integrity and physical design
• How design and technology selection can make or break the performance of the power distribution network
• Exploration of key concepts, such as plane impedance, spreading inductance, decoupling capacitors, and capacitor loop inductance
• Practical techniques for analyzing resistance, capacitance, inductance, and impedance
• Solving signal integrity problems via rules of thumb, analytic approximation, numerical simulation, and measurement
• Understanding how interconnect physical design impacts signal integrity
• Managing differential pairs and losses
• Harnessing the full power of S-parameters in high-speed serial link applications
• Ensuring power integrity throughout the entire power distribution path
• Realistic design guidelines for improving signal integrity, and much more

Unlike books that concentrate on theoretical derivation and mathematical rigor, this book emphasizes intuitive understanding, practical tools, and engineering discipline. Designed for electronics industry professionals from beginners to experts it will be an invaluable resource for getting signal integrity designs right the first time, every time.

About the Author

Eric Bogatin received his B.S. in physics from MIT in 1976 and his M.S. and Ph.D. in physics from the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1980. For more than thirty years he has been active in the fields of signal integrity and interconnect design. He worked in senior engineering and management roles at AT&T Bell Labs, Raychem Corp., Sun Microsystems, and Interconnect Devices Inc.

Recognizing a need in the industry for quality technical training in signal integrity, he created Bogatin Enterprises, which has grown to be a world-leading provider of signal integrity training services. As a “Signal Integrity Evangelist,” Eric turns complexity into practical design principles, leveraging commercially available analysis techniques and measurement tools.

Over the years, he has created a number of live classes and presented to more than five thousand engineers, worldwide. These include topics on transmission lines, differential pairs, switching noise, ground bounce, the power distribution network, and EMI. Some courses cover the use of TDR and VNA measurement techniques to characterize interconnects.

In addition, Eric is a prolific author with more than three hundred publications, many posted on his web site, www.beTheSignal.com, for free download. He regularly presents at DesignCon, PCB West, Mentor User Group Meetings, and the IPC’s Designer Day annual event.

In the past ten years, he has written regular monthly columns for Printed Circuit Design and Fabrication magazine, Semiconductor International, Electronic Packaging and Production, Altera Corporation, and Mentor Graphics Corporation. He is on the editorial board of Printed Circuit Design and Fabrication magazine and Microinterconnects Newsletter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent analysis of high-end signal integrity behavior, September 15, 2009

This review is from: Signal and Power Integrity - Simplified (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)

As an experienced hands-on hardware designer who possesses a lot of books that cover signal integrity issues, I find that the uniqueness of this book is that the author is able to explain very complex subjects using very clear concepts and equations. Chapters 12 and 13 were added to the original release of this book to provide key information of GHz designs. Chapter 12 describes in depth the use and interpretation of S-parameters as they apply to GHz PCB designs, and chapter 13 has an excellent treatment of the behavior, the challenges and how to overcome them to achieve a successful high-performance PDN design. I highly recommend this book for high-speed signal integrity design engineers.

I was assigned this book for graduate coursework, and it is wonderful. I have a very limited background in signal integrity, so I can say that this book should be perfect for any electrical engineer or engineering student with a couple years of standard EE coursework under their belt. It is one of those very rare engineering textbooks that actually makes you WANT to read it. The chapters more or less build upon one another well, and ideas are presented clearly and explained well. The writing style isn't loaded down with confusing explanations. The language is very straightforward and the examples are very clear. The author chooses to explain most equations intuitively, rather than bog the reader down with intense derivations. This makes the book excellent for self study. It lacks "problem sets" in the traditional textbook sense, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the material. The author also includes numerical examples in the text throughout the chapters, but the equations are so well explained that the examples aren't really necessary. How many engineering books can you say that about?

Eric Bogatin has done a great service to anyone looking to get their feet wet in the signal integrity field by writing this book. Buy it!

Have read a lot of textbooks in the field of electrical engineering in my time, and most are written by professors who can't teach their way out of a box. Eric Bogatin knows how to cut through all the BS and get right to the practical points for a practicing engineer.
