Signal and power integrity are essential for ensuring the reliable performance of integrated circuits (ICs) in modern electronic systems. The chapter discusses the challenges posed by signal degradation and noise, as well as solutions such as controlled impedance, shielding, and proper decoupling techniques. A focus on power integrity highlights the importance of stable voltage supply and effective noise reduction measures in enhancing circuit functionality.

Term: Signal Integrity (SI)
Definition: The quality and reliability of electrical signals as they travel through a circuit, affected by factors such as distortion, reflection, and attenuation.
Term: Power Integrity (PI)
Definition: The ability of the power delivery network to provide stable and noise-free power to electronic components.
Term: Crosstalk
Definition: Unwanted coupling between adjacent signal traces, leading to interference and signal degradation.
Term: Decoupling Capacitors
Definition: Capacitors placed near IC power pins to filter out high-frequency noise and stabilize voltage.
Term: Impedance Matching
Definition: The practice of designing traces and connections to ensure that the impedance of drivers, traces, and receivers are aligned to avoid signal reflections.
