High Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic (Prentice Hall Modern Semiconductor Design)

Possibly the most recommended and talked about text on high speed digital design ever written . Helped me consolidate theory I learnt in my MEng EEE and apply to real designs in work.

Brilliant book

This book is simply excellent. I never really got to grips with analogue design or electromagnetic theory, but an understanding of these is becoming critical in high-speed digital design. This book was a God-send to me. It explains everything you need to know, in simple terms (including the equations when appropriate) and includes checklists and solutions for a designer to refer against. Termination, effects of vias, routing, power and ground planes, measurement techniques, noise pickup, e-m radiation etc. etc. are all covered.If you are in any way involved in design, layout or analysis of digital designs which operate at 20+ MHz, then this book will become your standard reference. Having got it, I don't know how I survived without it.
