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, signalsArchitecting an embedded systemDigital interface selection by application, speed, distanceMultivoltage power suppliesHigh frequency power integrityBattery and charging systemsEMI reduction and ESD protectionDriving and sensing peripheralsDigital feedback controlOptimization of power consumption and costSpecialty systems: medical, industrial, aerospacePCB 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.
