High Speed Digital Design

The new edition of this textbook is based on Dr. Thanh T. Tran’s 10+ years’ experience teaching high-speed digital and analog design courses at Rice University and 30+ years’ experience working in high-speed system design, including signal and power integrity in digital signal processing (DSP), computer, and embedded system. The book provides hands-on, practical instruction on high-speed digital and analog design for students and working engineers.

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:

High-Speed DSP and Analog System Design is based on the author’s over 25 years of experience in high-speed DSP and computer systems and courses in both digital and analog systems design at Rice University. It provides hands-on, practical advice for working engineers, including: • Tips on cost-efficient design and system simulation that minimize late-stage redesign costs and product shipment delays • Emphasis on good high-speed and analog design practices that minimize both component and system noise and ensure system design success. • Guidelines to be used throughout the design process to reduce noise and radiation and to avoid common pitfalls while improve quality and reliability. • Hand-on design examples focusing on audio, video, analog filters, DDR memory, and power supplies. The inclusion of analog systems and related issues cannot be found in other high-speed design books.
