High-Speed Digital System Design - Justin Davis - Bog

High-Speed Digital System Design bridges the gap from theory to implementation in the real world. Systems with clock speeds in low megahertz range qualify for high-speed. Proper design results in quality digital transmissions and lowers the chance for errors. This book is for computer and electrical engineers who may or may not have learned electromagnetic theory. The presentation style allows readers to quickly begin designing their own high-speed systems and diagnosing existing designs for errors. After studying this book, readers will be able to:
Design the power distribution system for a printed circuit board to minimize noise
Plan the layers of a PCB for signals, power, and ground to maximize signal quality and minimize noise
Include test structures in the printed circuit board to easily diagnose manufacturing mistakes
Choose the best PCB design parameters such a trace width, height,and routed path to ensure the most stable characteristic impedance
Determine the correct termination to minimize reflections
Predict the delay caused by a given PCB trace
Minimize driver power consumption using AC terminations
Compensate for discontinuities along a PCB trace
Use pre-emphasis and equalization techniques to counteract lossy transmission lines
Determine the amount of crosstalk between two traces
Diagnose existing PCBs to determine the sources of errors
