高速电路板信号完整性：This is a book for engineers designing high-speed circuit boards. To the signal integrityengineer, this book will be a handbook of formulas and terminology as well as arefresher of basic electrostatic and electromagnetic principals. The high-speed circuitdesigner will find this book an easy entry into the electromagnetics and physicsof high-speed signaling. It introduces concepts fundamental to high-speed signaling,such as lossy transmission line behavior, skin effect, and the characteristics of laminatesand surface mount capacitors. The focus throughout is on the effects of dielectricand conductor loss on signal quality, with a particular emphasis on serialdifferential signaling. Coupling between transmission lines (especially in the contextof crosstalk and odd/even modes) is discussed. Besides being useful in serial signaling,this has application to multiconductor busses.Reflections on transmission lines are only superficially covered in this text. Thistopic has been extensively covered in the literature, and the reader of this book isassumed to be familiar with the creation and mitigation of reflections on transmissionlines. However, the proper routing and termination of differential pairs has notbeen as well covered in the literature and so is discussed in Chapter 8.Similarly, power supply decoupling has been thoroughly discussed elsewhere,so the coverage in this book is brief. Instead, the focus here is on managing returnpaths (something often not well covered) and the electrical characteristics andbehavior of capacitors. The material in Chapter 10 is a concise catalog of essentialelectrical characteristics of discrete capacitors, with a focus on surface mounttechnology.The fundamentals of resistance, capacitance, inductance, and loss calculationspresented in Chapters 2–5 are illustrated with practical worked examples that maybe used as templates to solve similar problems.Many simple formulas are presented to allow hand calculation of resistance,capacitance, inductance, and impedance. These types of calculations are helpful indeveloping intuition and in approximating beforehand the results to be expectedfrom field solving software, circuit simulation tools, and laboratory measurements.Extensive references are given at the end of each chapter, providing the interestedreader the opportunity to dig deeper. The references intentionally span classic,older works (some of which were written in the 1950s, but most of the older onesare from the 1960s and 1970s) as well as modern works. The older references arevaluable, as they are the original works often cited by others, sometimes without theproper context. Although long out of print, the selected older references are generallyavailable secondhand and are worthy additions to the signal integrity engineer’slibrary. Particular mention is made of Johnson’s Transmission Lines and Networks (published in 1950, referenced in Chapter 2) and Skilling’s Electrical EngineeringCircuits (1965, see the references in Chapter 3) and Transient Electric Currents(1952). These books are succinct and in my view remain unmatched. Miner’s Linesand Electric Fields for Engineers (1996, first referenced in Chapter 3) is the one electromagneticstextbook every signal integrity engineer should have in his or herlibrary.I’m indebted to my friends and coworkers for their support, encouragement,and help during the creation of this book. Special mention must be made of the assistance,perspective, and advice provided by my colleagues Jeff Cooper, Ernie Grella,and Tim Haynes. Special thanks also goes to Fahrudin Alagic for his many monthsof precise laboratory measurements that support the material appearing in Chapters5–7. I’m grateful to all of those who suffered through early versions of the manus criptfor their constructive remarks. I’m also obliged to the anonymous reviewer forhis insightful comments. All of these comments were most helpful and have resultedin an improved text. Of course, any inaccuracies or errors that made it into the textare my doing and in no way reflect on the reviewers.Finally, I’m especially grateful to my wife Ann for her understanding, patience,encouragement, and unflagging support throughout the many long hours it took tocreate this work. This book would not have been possible without her.
