Fatbrain Review This thorough and informative classic simply refuses to age. Intended for digital designers, it details analog circuit principles relevant to high-speed digital design.This text contains the hard-won knowledge acquired via on-the-job-training, (the kind of knowledge not available in college design texts). The authors discuss and clarify the application of analog principles to high-speed digital design (20MHz - 20GHz and up). In high-speed digital design, signals are not necessarily clean, well behaved or conforming to binary models. After briefly introducing analog circuit terminology, the authors focus on topics such as transmission lines, ground planes, terminators and vias. They also delve into power systems, connectors and ribbon cables. Finally, they describe clock distribution and clock oscillators.
