Signal Integrity Issues and Printed Circuit Board Design

This guide for printed circuit board designers—in particular those lacking a technical degree—describes design principles for boards used in high-speed applications. The volume opens with an introduction to essential electronics concepts. Other topics include, for example, circuit timing issues, voltage dividers, capacitive reactance, crosstalk simulations, and power supply voltages. The president of UltraCAD Design, Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, Brooks is a well-known presenter of seminar s on signal integrity. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
