John Wiley & Sons Inc Signal Integrity Effects in Custom IC and ASIC
Book SynopsisSingh provides hands-on and research knowledge to a broad audience to help them get past very serious design problems. It covers signal integrity effects in high performance radio frequency IC designs, and substrate coupling.Trade Review"In the era of System-on-Chip, when large portions of the overall system are integrated on one large chip, designers are facing increasingly challenging issues. For the first time, this book is taking a closer look at the signal integrity problems faced by both high-performance and cost-performance applications, digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits. System designers are given guidance in power distribution analysis, interconnect optimization, and mixed, digital-analog circuit integration challenges. Researchers and CAD engineers can get an in-depth view of the current and future requirements for full-chip CAD tools, on-chip transmission line designs, integrated passive components, and many other critical signal integrity issues. This book is bringing together a broad range of representative papers that will further the understanding both in the industrial and academic communities." (Alina Deutsch, Research Staff Member, T.J. Watson Research Center, International Business Machines) "Electrical integrity (or environment noise) is becoming the principal obstacle in system-on-a-chip design. Digital circuits create a very noisy environment in which other digital and analog circuits must function. This environmental noise comes about because of coupling through the interconnect, power supply, and substrate. This book surveys the latest literature on electrical integrity analysis and design and is, therefore, an invaluable resource for anyone designing systems-on-a-chip." (Kenneth L. Shepard, Professor, Columbia University) "The explosion of wireless communications that offer greater mobility and broadband communications that provide super fast access to the Internet have placed new demands on IC designers. The key to developing successful Systems on Chip designs that offer Analog and Mixed Signal capabilities is the approach used to extract and analyze the affects of parasitics on signal integrity. This book offers a tutorial guide to IC designers who want to move to the next level of chip design by unlocking the secrets of signal integrity." (Jake Buurma Senior Vice President, Worldwide Research & Development, Cadence Design Systems, Inc.) "As technology scales to .1 micron and below, second order effects due to physical phenomena that were not much visible before start playing a more and more significant role. So much so that well-established methodologies and tools are not providing the necessary level of confidence to the designer that her/his integrated circuit will perform as planned. The need for more accurate extraction and analysis is obvious when we observe horror stories about very hard to detect intermittent faults created by interactions among signals on different wires. There are two complementary approaches to the problem that come to mind as always when we go over the limit of previous methods - increase the accuracy of the analysis tools, and/or solve the problems by imposing constraints on the degrees of freedom left to the designer. This collection of papers covers both in details. It is the most comprehensive syllabus of important results for researchers and designers on the topic. I highly recommend to read it and to pay attention to the messages given by the papers of the collection."

John Wiley & Sons Inc ThyristorBased Facts Controllers for Electrical
Book SynopsisAn important new resource for the international utility market Over the past two decades, static reactive power compensators have evolved into a mature technology and become an integral part of modern electrical power systems. They are one of the key devices in flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). Coordination of static compensators with other controllable FACTS devices promises not only tremendously enhanced power system controllability, but also the extension of power transfer capability of existing transmission corridors to near their thermal capacities, thus delaying or even curtailing the need to invest in new transmission facilities. Offering both an in-depth presentation of theoretical concepts and practical applications pertaining to these power compensators, Thyristor-Based FACTS Controllers for Electrical Transmission Systems fills the need for an appropriate text on this emerging technology.

Book SynopsisWireless local area networks (LANs) and personal area networks (PANs) seem set to play an expanding role in the future of telecommunications, and particularly in the convergence of local networks with the fiber-optic Internet backbone. This book is an introduction to the subject by the companies at the forefront of wireless LAN development.Trade ReviewWireless Local Area Networks is for those who will be charged with designing, building, and maintaining those networks, and it is a resolutely practical book. The very first page of the preface promises that the chapters were chosen for “conciseness and clarity [without] unnecessary information.” The book begins with an overview of wireless standards, and moves on to cover network security, public access, personal area networks, and future developments. The chapters are, as promised, clear and concise. The overview of 802.11b in Chapter 1 and the Bluetooth overview in chapter 13 are both excellent introductions to these wireless networking standards. -- ACM Networker Overall, the book is a valuable source of information about wireless LAN technologies with special respect to IEEE 802.11 standards. It contains a lot of practical information that comes from the experience of the authors....Lots of illustrations help understanding of important topics. The book will be attractive to many readers.
