Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Focused on the field of knowledge lying between digital and analog circuit theory, this new text will help engineers workng with digital systems shorten their latest design problems. The scope of the material covered includes signal reflection, crosstalk, and noise problems which occur in high speed digital machines ( above 10 megahertz). This volume will be of practical use to digital logic designers, sstaff and senior communitions scientist, and all those interested in digital design.

From the Back Cover

Focusing on a combination of digital and analog circuit theory, this comprehensive volume will help engineers who work with digital systems, shorten their product development cycles, and fix their latest high-speed design problems.

Covers signal reflection, crosstalk, and noise problems that occur in high-speed digtal machines (above 10 megahertz).
lncludes checklists that ask the questions an experienced designer would about a new system.
Offers useful formulas for inductance, capacitance, resistance, rise time, and Q.
Explains the trade-offs between signal cross talk, mechanical fabrication of tolerances, and trace routing density.
Presents a methodology for determining how many layrs will be required to route a printed circuit board.

A reference book worth keeping and learning from; repeatedly

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

I use this as a reference work for electronic hardware design. It is a wonderful source of material additional to the usual textbook-like presentations.

Not cheap, but technical books aren't. I'm glad I added it to my resource library and recommend it to those who will find value in it.

Simply essential for PCB design

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

This handbook is absolutely a must if you have to deal with PCB design. It discloses, in a very practical manner, many tricks that help in the design of a PCB. It's clear that it's written from direct practical experience and because of that it's incredibly useful.

Great book that covers fundamentals of high speed digital design

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a great book for covering the basics of high speed digital design. It's as comprehensive as a textbook but without gets straight to the salient details. Despite being written 1993, the tools are absolutely still relevant and applicable to modern digital design.

One of the best books I have read on High Speed Design

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2001

Verified Purchase

This book spells out (using math and English) what I had learned the hard way over years of hardware design and takes the black magic out of why high speed systems work the way they do. My favorite practice was to go running for this book as a second opinion whenever someone didn't grasp what I was saying about intricate signal or grounding related issues. From PCB layout, to circuit design practices to how to get your oscilloscope to accurately display the real signal, this book tackles it all..

A valuable reference for High Speed Digital Design

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

I was just a student when I got the book. At first I was skeptical of the notion of treating the explanation of the topics discussed as "Black Magic," but as I learned more about High Speed Digital Design, I started to embrace it.

Good text and reference

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2013

Even after ~20 years the material is still applicable. Text is well presented and covers concepts well. Reasonable "short cuts" are explained and sufficient math/equations are shown to support them.
