A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO HARDWARE FUNDAMENTALS

Embedded Systems Hardware for Software Engineers describes the electrical and electronic circuits that are used in embedded systems, their functions, and how they can be interfaced to other devices.

Basic computer architecture topics, memory, address decoding techniques, ROM, RAM, DRAM, DDR, cache memory, and memory hierarchy are discussed. The book covers key architectural features of widely used microcontrollers and microprocessors, including Microchip''s PIC32, ATMEL''s AVR32, and Freescale''s MC68000. Interfacing to an embedded system is then described. Data acquisition system level design considerations and a design example are presented with real-world parameters and characteristics. Serial interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, PC, and USB are addressed and printed circuit boards and high-speed signal propagation over transmission lines are covered with a minimum of math. A brief survey of logic families of integrated circuits and programmable logic devices is also contained in this in-depth resource.

COVERAGE INCLUDES:

Architecture examplesMemoryMemory address decodingRead-only memory and other related devicesInput and output portsAnalog-to-digital and digital-to-analog convertersInterfacing to external devicesTransmission linesLogic families of integrated circuits and their signaling characteristicsThe printed circuit boardProgrammable logic devicesTest equipment: oscilloscopes and logic analyzers

A practical guide for solving real-world circuit board problemsElectrical, Electronics, and Digital Hardware Essentials for Scientists and Engineers arms engineers with the tools they need to test, evaluate, and solve circuit board problems. It explores a wide range of circuit analysis topics, supplementing the material with detailed circuit examples and extensive illustrations. The pros and cons of various methods of analysis, fundamental applications of electronic hardware, and issues in logic design are also thoroughly examined.The author draws on more than twenty-five years of experience in Silicon Valley to present a plethora of troubleshooting techniques readers can use in real-life situations. Plus, he devotes an entire chapter to the design of a small CPU, including all critical elements—the complete machine instruction set, from its execution path to logic implementation and timing analysis, along with power decoupling, resets, and clock considerations. Electrical, Electronics, and Digital Hardware Essentials for Scientists and Engineers covers: Resistors, inductors, and capacitors as well as a variety of analytical methodsThe elements of magnetism—an often overlooked topic in similar booksTime domain and frequency analyses of circuit behaviorNumerous electronics, from operational amplifiers to MOSFET transistorsBoth basic and advanced logic design principles and techniquesThis remarkable, highly practical book is a must-have resource for solid state circuit engineers, semiconductor designers and engineers, electric circuit testing engineers, and anyone dealing with everyday circuit analysis problems.  A solutions manual is available to instructors.  Please email ieeeproposals@wiley.com to request the solutions manual.  An errata sheet is available.
