> CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS:
>
> Covers signal reflection, crosstalk, and noise problems that occur in
> high-speed digital machines (about 10 megahertz).
>
> Includes checklists that ask the questions an experienced designer would ask
> about a new system.
>
> Offers useful formulas for inductance, capacitance, resistance, rise time, and
> Q.
>
> Explains the trade-offs between signal crosstalk, mechanical fabrication of
> tolerances, and trace routing density.
>
> Presents a methodology for determining how many layers will be required to
> route a printed circuit board.
