Applied Embedded Electronics: Design Essentials for Robust Systems

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, signals
    Architecting an embedded system
    Digital interface selection by application, speed, distance
    Multivoltage power supplies
    High frequency power integrity
    Battery and charging systems
    EMI reduction and ESD protection
    Driving and sensing peripherals
    Digital feedback control
    Optimization of power consumption and cost
    Specialty systems: medical, industrial, aerospace
    PCB design including manufacturability, yield, and low noise
 
This 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.
