Fundamentals of Power Integrity for Computer Platforms and Systems (eBook)

An all-encompassing text that focuses on the fundamentals of
power integrity

Power integrity is the study of power distribution from the
source to the load and the system level issues that can occur
across it. For computer systems, these issues can range from inside
the silicon to across the board and may egress into other parts of
the platform, including thermal, EMI, and mechanical.

With a focus on computer systems and silicon level power
delivery, this book sheds light on the fundamentals of power
integrity, utilizing the author's extensive background in the
power integrity industry and unique experience in silicon power
architecture, design, and development. Aimed at engineers
interested in learning the essential and advanced topics of the
field, this book offers important chapter coverage of fundamentals
in power distribution, power integrity analysis basics,
system-level power integrity considerations, power conversion in
computer systems, chip-level power, and more.

Fundamentals of Power Integrity for Computer Platforms and
Systems:

* Introduces readers to both the field of power integrity and to
platform power conversion

* Provides a unique focus on computer systems and silicon level
power delivery unavailable elsewhere

* Offers detailed analysis of common problems in the
industry

* Reviews electromagnetic field and circuit representation

* Includes a detailed bibliography of references at the end of
each chapter

* Works out multiple example problems within each chapter

Including additional appendixes of tables and formulas,
Fundamentals of Power Integrity for Computer Platforms and
Systems is an ideal introductory text for engineers of power
integrity as well as those in the chip design industry,
specifically physical design and packaging.
