Talk:Signal integrity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am not sure who is writing this page, but there are several typographical and factual errors. The content seems to be geared towards promoting "select" textbooks and does not list the fundamental work done by several experts. The most notable exclusion is of a text by Dally and Poulton. It seems written too hastily.
Hi! I'm Lou Scheffer. There was no entry at all for Signal Integrity, so I made an initial stab at one. I'm an IC guy, and in this field the first and best known authors are Vinod Kariat, Ken Shepard, and others from their group at IBM, with their initial paper on Harmony. (These folks, after IBM, founded CadMOS, a SI startup that was bought by Cadence). I got permission to take part of a chapter he wrote and use that as the article.
Of course, there are also lots of SI issues on PC boards, which were not addressed in the initial article. Looking at the edit log, it appears that "Howard Johnson" added most of this part. Then lots of others made smaller changes.
If you find factual errors and/or typos, please just go ahead and fix them. That's the beauty of Wikipedia!. Adding more reference texts is also welcome.

It makes me sick to the bottom of my stomach knowing how people misuse this space for self promotion.
Perhaps instead of complaining, you should contribute? You say there are errors - go ahead and fix them. There is fundamental work by several experts that is not listed? Add the work, and the references. You say it refers to only a few "select" textbooks? Then add the textbooks that should be listed. You say there is too much self-promotion? Then re-write the article and you can remove the references you think are inappropriate. All of these are possible, just as easy as adding complaints here. LouScheffer 05:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
