Applied Embedded Electronics (eBook)

Embedded controller electronics are at the heart of virtually all modern electronic devices today with a market of more than $86 billion per year and growing. To serve the needs of designers creating products for this huge market, this practical book covers topics crucial for modern electronics design.Author Jerry Twomey examines the methods necessary to help you create a trouble-free integrated system for your product, with an emphasis on hardware design. You'll explore topics from the perspective of real-world applications, including discussions about non-ideal components, noise, and methods for avoiding problematic scenarios.Topics include:Ideal versus actual connections, components, digital, signalsArchitecting an embedded systemDigital interface selection by application, speed, distanceMultivoltage power suppliesHigh frequency power integrityBattery and charging systemsEMI reduction and ESD protectionDriving and sensing peripheralsDigital feedback controlOptimization of power consumption and costSpecialty systems: medical, industrial, aerospacePCB design including manufacturability, yield, and low noiseThis book guides you through all of the techniques listed, which are required for a reliable integrated system. Through extensive illustrations and minimal equations, anyone with an interest in electronics will quickly grasp the ideas discussed.
