Power Integrity for I/O Interfaces: With Signal Integrity/Power Integrity Co-Design

Foreword

With recent advancement of the semiconductor technology, microprocessors and System-On-Chip (SoC) products are taking advantage of cheaper production cost and the extended Moore's law. This has reinvigorated more widespread use of personal computing devices and consumer electronics devices. Most of these recent electronics systems are getting faster, smaller, and, are operating at lower power. In addition, the design cycle for products is getting shorter, putting more pressure on efficient design capability while the robust operation of devices is a definite requirement. The issues arising from these trends range from physical design, electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic interference, to thermal and power consumption reduction. ...
