Course Title:

High-Speed Digital Design

Course Description:

Gives the student an overview of the fundamental electrical issues involved in the design of high-performance digital systems and the basic techniques and methods used to deal with these issues. Introduces signaling, timing, synchronization, noise management, and power distribution. Discusses the fundamental problems and engineering solutions to these problems. Addresses, for example, the problem of signaling over transmission lines and incident-wave signaling methods. Includes overview of digital system engineering, including modeling and analysis of wires, digital circuit design, power distribution, noise in digital systems, signaling convention, advanced signaling techniques, timing conventions, synchronization, and timing circuits.
