Overview
* Practical approach to design* Case studies allow the readers to investigate their own systems
* The author, Steve Heath, has many years' experience in computer design
Microprocessors are more and more present in many aspects of our daily lives. They have become the standard way of implementing digital systems ranging from sophisticated process control systems to cars, burglar alarms and even children's toys. As a result, the demand for these products is increasing dramatically, as is the need for knowledge and understanding of the technology.
This book provides a guide to all aspects of embedded systems design including the hardware, software and the design trade-offs associated with design. The approach taken here is largely practical, the aim being to explain how systems are designed in the real world rather than in theory. In keeping with this approach, there is a chapter of case studies included in the book to allow the readers to investigate their own real systems and gain practical experience.
Audience: Embedded systems engineers / programmers, electronic engineers, control systems engineers, students of electronic and software engineering.
