C for the Microprocessor Engineer is designed to introduce the reader to the use, problems and advantages of using C as the programming medium for embedded microprocessor systems. It can be used as a general stand-alone text in microprocessor technology, since only a limited background is expected in microprocessor hardware and...
Many electrical and computer engineering projects involve some kind of embedded system in which a microcontroller sits at the center as the primary source of control.
The recently-developed Arduino development platform includes an inexpensive hardware development board hosting an eight-bit ATMEL ATmega-family processor...
This textbook serves as an introduction to the subject of embedded systems design, using microcontrollers as core components. It develops concepts from the ground up, covering the development of embedded systems technology, architectural and organizational aspects of controllers and systems, processor models, and peripheral devices....
* Artificial vision system that uses a CCD camera to track and follow brightly colored objects * Bi-pedal robots that walk upright * Functional robotic arm * Easily programmed behavior-based robots * Complete parts...
This book is the first to document and teach important information about the verification technique known as hardware/software co-verification. Traditional embedded system design has evolved into single chip designs that are pushing past 1M logic gates and headed toward 10M gates. In this era of SoC design, chips now include microprocessors and...
This textbook, now in its sixth edition, continues to be straightforward and easy-to-read, presenting the principles of PLCs while not tying itself to one manufacturer or another. Extensive examples and chapter ending problems utilize several popular PLCs, highlighting understanding of fundamentals that can be used regardless...
Our fi rst book, Basics of CMOS Cell Design, covered integrated circuit technology scale down, the MOS device model, layout and performance perspectives. It also included an extensive study of basic gates, interconnect and analog cells. We introduced basic cell design and simulation using user-friendly educational tools, Microwind and Dsch,...
Modern computer architectures designed with high-performance microprocessors offer tremendous potential gains in performance over previous designs. Yet their very complexity makes it increasingly difficult to produce efficient code and to realize their full potential. This landmark text from two leaders in the field focuses on the pivotal role...
While the throughput of microprocessor systems tends to increase as a result of ongoing technology scaling and the advent of multi-core systems, the off-chip I/O communication bandwidth emerges as one of the potential bottlenecks that limit overall performance. In order to alleviate the communication speed constraints, optical data communication...
This ninth edition of Digital Electronics: A Practical Approach with VHDL provides
the fundamentals of digital circuitry to students in engineering and technology curricula.
The digital circuits are introduced using fixed-function 7400 ICs and evolve into
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) programmed with VHDL (VHSIC Hardware...
This is the republication of a well-known microprocessor programming guide, first published in 1986 at the launch of the Western Design Center’s revolutionary new 65816 and 65802 processors.
With a keen understanding of the learning process, software designers David Eyes and Ron Lichty produced a comprehensive guide to the...
This book presents specifications and standards for the Apple Macintosh technology cited in the PowerPC Microprocessor Common Hardware Reference Platform (CHRP) specification.
The CHRP specification is a joint publication of Apple Computer, Inc., International Business Machines Corporation, and Motorola, Inc. It defines a common hardware...
