An understanding of high speed interconnect phenomena is necessary for modern designs such as routing and layout of computer motherboards. Computers have reached speeds where digital design must provide for these effects. The problem is that most engineers active today have not been trained in this subject.

Mikroprozessoren werden immer schneller - generell eine erfreuliche Entwicklung. Eine Folge davon ist aber auch, daß sich Schaltkreise in Computern ungewöhnlich und in unerwarteter Weise verhalten. Die Autoren dieses Bandes versuchen, solche Effekte theoretisch zu unterlegen. Am Beispiel von Situationen aus dem Alltag werden sehr verschiedene interessante Phänomene erklärt. (11/00)

"...excellent guidebook for interconnect design...highly recommended for design engineers and recent graduates struggling to transition from theory to real-world design." (Choice, Vol. 38, No. 8, April 2001) "This is an excellent book for anyone who has basic circuit theory knowledge...." (E-Streams, Vol. 4, No. 8, August 2001)
