Synopsis

An introduction to the design of embedded microprocessor systems, from the initial concepts through to debugging the final result. It is not limited to describing any specific processor family, but covers the operation of and interfaces to several types of processors with an emphasis on cost and design tradeoffs. Included throughout the book are numerous examples, tips and pitfalls you can only learn from an experienced designer. It discusses how to implement faster and better design processes, and how to avoid time-consuming and expensive mistakes. The author's many years of experience in the industry have given him an extremely practical approach to design realities and problems. He describes the entire process of designing circuits and the software that controls them, assessing the system requirements, as well as testing and debugging systems. The less-experienced engineer should be able to apply Ball's advice to everyday projects and challenges immediately with good results. This new edition includes a chapter on advanced concepts and appendices of interest to students and beginners.

About this title

Review:

"I'm very impressed...[Embedded Microprocessor Systems] covers many aspects of developing embedded systems that engineers new to the field may not consider." -Ken Davidson, Editor-in-Chief of Circuit Cellar INK, about the previous edition This book will provide an excellent introduction for someone new to the art of embedding microprocessors into systems. The pace is easy and the book is packed full of helpful tips.Dr. Alistair Armitage, Measurement & Control So can I recomment this book? Yes, very much. It is up-to-date, clear, and full of helpful tips.-Dr. Alistair Armitage, Measurement & Control It is labelled as an introduction to the design of embedded microprocessor systems, and I think it achieves this better than any other book I have seen.-Dr. Alistair Armitage, Measurement & Control Students and engineers new to embedded work looking for a general introduction to embedded system design will benefit from this book. It is suitable for engineers coming from the software or the hardware side. Highly Recommended.-Chris Hills, CVu

From the Publisher:

Embedded Microprocessor Systems is an introduction to the design of embedded microprocessor systems, from the initial concept through debugging the final result. Unlike many books on the market, Embedded Microprocessor Systems is not limited to describing any specific processor family, but covers the operation of and interfaces to several types of processors with an emphasis on cost and design tradeoffs. Included throughout the book are numerous examples, tips, and pitfalls you can only learn from an experienced designer. Not only will you find out how to implement faster and better design processes, but also how to avoid time-consuming and expensive mistakes. The author's many years of experience in industry have given him an extremely practical approach to design realities and problems. He describes the entire process of designing circuits and the software that controls them, assessing the system requirements, as well as testing and debugging systems. The less-experienced engineer will be able to apply Ball's advice to everyday projects and challenges immediately with amazing results. As an added bonus to this new edition, the author has included a chapter on advanced concepts and appendices of interest to students and beginners.
