Product Description

Product Description
This guide provides software and hardware engineers with no prior experience in embedded systems with the necessary conceptual and design building blocks to understand the architectures of embedded systems. Written to provide the depth of coverage and real-world examples developers need, "Designing Embedded Hardware" also provides a road-map to the pitfalls and traps to avoid in designing embedded systems. Topics covered include: the principles of developing computer; parallel I/O; analog-digital conversion; timers (internal and external); UART; serial peripheral interface; inter-Integrated Circuit Bus; Controller Area Network (CAN); Data Converter Interface (DCI); and low-power operation. The book offers practical tools and skills to develop, build, and program your own application-specific computers.

From the Publisher
Intelligent readers who want to build their own embedded computer systems-- installed in everything from cell phones to cars to handheld organizers to refrigerators-- will find this book to be the most in-depth, practical, and up-to-date guide on the market. Designing Embedded Hardware carefully steers between the practical and philosophical aspects, so developers can both create their own devices and gadgets and customize and extend off-the-shelf systems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beginners Guide, 11 May 2004
If you are a hobbyist or student of electronic engineering, you will find this book a good introduction to embedded systems hardware. However, one third of the book is dedicated to basic electronics and construction, which is better served elsewhere. The remainder covers the more relevant subject of microcontrollers and their peripherals. Following reading this you should be able to progress to reading datasheets and application notes, which experienced engineers rely on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overall picture of embedded system, 18 Feb 2004
By A Customer
A fantastic buy for anyone needing a refresher/quick course in designing embedded systems. Brings the train of thought back to basics with a review of basic circuit theory, (but does not patronize) then builds up the technical level at just the right pace. Author has provided some great tips of the trade that otherwise can only be learnt the hard way.
I'm an electronics engineer that spent too long writing software, and needed a reminder of real electronics. This worked brilliantly. Would love to see a similar title "Testing Embedded Hardware/Systems.".

1.0 out of 5 stars Disapointing, 27 Aug 2007
I rarely write reviews, but after wasting £20 on this, I felt compelled.

This book is perhaps more suitable for somebody with absolutely no electronics or programming knowledge at all. If you have even the slightest knowledge in these areas, you are probably way beyond the level of this book already.
