Fundamentals of Power Integrity for Computer Platforms and Systems

An all-encompassing text that focuses on the fundamentals ofpower integrity

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

With a focus on computer systems and silicon level powerdelivery, this book sheds light on the fundamentals of powerintegrity, utilizing the author's extensive background in thepower integrity industry and unique experience in silicon powerarchitecture, design, and development. Aimed at engineersinterested in learning the essential and advanced topics of thefield, this book offers important chapter coverage of fundamentalsin power distribution, power integrity analysis basics,system-level power integrity considerations, power conversion incomputer systems, chip-level power, and more.

Fundamentals of Power Integrity for Computer Platforms andSystems:
* Introduces readers to both the field of power integrity and toplatform power conversion
* Provides a unique focus on computer systems and silicon levelpower delivery unavailable elsewhere
* Offers detailed analysis of common problems in theindustry
* Reviews electromagnetic field and circuit representation
* Includes a detailed bibliography of references at the end ofeach chapter
* Works out multiple example problems within each chapter

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