PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

Albert Einstein

Printed circuit-board and IC-package design used to be a field that involved expertise in layout, CAD, logic design, heat transfer, mechanical engineering, and reliability analysis. With modern digital electronic systems pushing beyond the 1-GHz barrier, packaging and board designers must now balance signal integrity and electrical performance with these other concerns.

Everyone who touches the physical design of a product has the potential of affecting the performance. All designers should understand how what they do will affect signal integrity or, at the very least, be able to talk with engineers who are responsible for the signal ...
