No gadget in this episode, I thought instead I’d write about a book I purchased recently. It is Eric Bogatin’s “Signal and Power Integrity — Simplified” second edition. Like most of you, I’ve got a ...

As every engineer learns at an early stage, clock edges must be obeyed. In the digital domain, synchronization through global and local clock trees, slew rate and rising/falling times all combine to ...

Power Integrity for I/O Interfaces: With Signal Integrity/Power Integrity Co-Design, by Vishram S. Pandit, Woong Hwan Ryu, and Myoung Joon Choi, Prentice Hall Modern Semiconductor Design Series, ...

Leading-edge chip desiLeading-edge chip design was never easy, but it’s getting harder all the time. Rapid advances in communication systems are driving data rates higher. With the emergence of ...

As active devices and interconnect wires shrink and are placed closer together with the march of Moore’s Law, signal integrity is becoming a huge concern. If it is not maintained, a design’s future ...

Telecom veteran Bert Simonovich receives DesignCon Engineer of the Year award for his signal integrity contributions and mentoring.

Signal integrity is a critical design consideration in modern electronic systems, particularly those that depend on high-speed interconnects. As data rates climb and interconnect geometries become ...
