Signal and Power Integrity in Digital Systems: TTL, CMOS, and BiCMOS [antikvár]

This book is about signal and power integrity issues and techniques for managing those issues in high-speed state-of-the-art digital systems built with advanced Schottky transistor-transistor logic (TTL) devices, advanced complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic devices, and advanced bipolar combined with CMOS (BiCMOS) logic devices. It is not about logic design. It is about how to optimize the electrical and mechanical environment for high-speed logic devices. Their very fast edges, low noise margin, and other nonideal characteristics invite signal and power integrity-related system faults; but with attention to basic electrical and electromagnetic principles, they can be applied successfully. Unfortunately, an introduction to these basic principles appears to be absent from most digital designers' training. Perhaps the material is considered too simple or obvious—and it is simple and obvious when explained and understood. But without an understanding of the simple electrical issues that determine signal and power integrity, there is little likelihood of success when high-speed digital devices are used. Many have learned the hard way in their first encounter with high-speed digital logic devices that the electrical issues cannot be neglected. The purpose of this book is to help those new to high-speed logic design avoid the many pitfalls that await the unsuspecting and to provide those who have encountered some of the problems with solutions. However, a book such as this cannot provide solutions to all signal and power integrity issues. Each design will have its own unique set of circumstances and challenges. The hope is that the book will at least help the reader develop an awareness of the many critical electrical design issues that may impact signal and power integrity in high-speed digital systems. Understanding that an issue is important is the first step toward its solution. This book is a combination of CMOS !TTL Digital Systems Design (McGraw-Hill, 1990) and BiCMOS !CMOS Systems Design (McGraw-
