Principles of Power Integrity for PDN Design--Simplified: Robust and Cost Effective Design for High Speed Digital Products (Prentice Hall Modern Semiconductor Design) 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

Excellent Book!!! Another success for Eric Bogatin (without taking merits away from Larry). More important than just equations, are the basic concepts included in this book that will build your intuition. Myths are exposed and obscure elements of the PDN such as mounting inductance, ESR, cavity, and spreading inductance are discussed at length and shown their importance pointing to the real factors that will make the difference between a feeble and a robust PDN. I strongly recommend this book for those design engineers challenged with modern designs which require the delivery of higher power at the expense of higher current and lower voltages.

This book is very was well-written and well explained, down to the root of the problem. It is not just a book of “magic” equations or rules of thumbs, but instead derives the rules of thumb from the root as to ensure it is understood what assumptions are made so rules can be redeveloped if an assumption doesn’t hold in your application. The culmination of all of the information into a proposed design process and worksheets at the end are very useful for integration into existing design processes.

This book on Power Integrity is a very good starting place for designers and research people. The way things are explained, makes this book easy to understand and experiment on the circuits provided in each chapter. A lot of misconceptions and perception will change to a correct way as one goes through this book. I will update my review as I keep going through all the chapters.Tip: It is highly recommended to practice the circuits (possible ones) in QUCS to make learning more effective.Pros:Simple and effectiveTrustworthy AuthorsUseful for beginners and expertsCons:Takes time to extract maximum knowledge, hence requires patience.

A must have book The presentation of the topics is really simple and straigth forward, providing the necessary fundations for further and deeper exploration. The book is well organized and the sequence of the topics moves from the simple ones to the more complex. There are several insigths on how to perform measurements and several tips ensure that these will be done rigth at the first time.

This book follows along the same lines as Signal Integrity Simplified. Is pretty clear and concise. Concepts explained in detail. A bible for Power Integrity

Wow, didn't realize I purchased a "used" book for over $200 :-(Could of sworn I was careful in selecting new only? Guess I hit wrong link? My bad :-(

Excellent coverage of an important topic

A message I sent to the authors:Dear Mr. Smith,I have just finished reading your (and Eric Bogatin's) book "Principles of Power Integrity for PDN Design", and want to congratulate you on writing an excellent book. None of the other books on the subject presents such a complete, clear and thorough presentation of the various issues - it is really a great help for PDN designers. The number of typos is also remarkably small for a book of such dimensions.There are two comments I have:As you say in the final Bottom Line, PDN design is really about managing peaks in the impedance profile.These peaks are first discussed in Sec 2.7, and the height of the peak is given in eq. (2-27).This equation is used extensively throughout the book, but the source of this relation, and the conditions forthe approximation are not presented. Since this relation is so essential in the book, I think it deserves someexplanation.I found the drawings in the book as its only weak aspect. It seems the drawings were originally in color, but whenprinted in grey scale, it is often difficult to follow the drawings, which are very important in such a book. Maybe thatenlarging the drawings (or obviously printing them in color) will be very helpful, if you plan a second edition.Having said that, I want to reiterate: This is an excellent book. A few years ago a student asked me for some good book on PDN design, and I had to admit that there was none.Now I have a good answer for such a question.
