The book covers key architectural features of widely used microcontrollers and microprocessors, including Microchip's PIC32, ATMEL's AVR32, and Freescale's MC68000. Interfacing to an embedded system is then described. Data acquisition system level design considerations and a design example are presented with real-world parameters and characteristics. Serial interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, PC, and USB are addressed and printed circuit boards and high-speed signal propagation over transmission lines are covered with a minimum of math. A brief survey of logic families of integrated circuits and programmable logic devices is also contained in this in-depth resource.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOVERAGE INCLUDES:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eArchitecture examples\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMemory\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMemory address decoding\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRead-only memory and other related devices\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInput and output ports\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAnalog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInterfacing to external devices\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTransmission lines\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLogic families of integrated circuits and their signaling characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe printed circuit board\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eProgrammable logic devices\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTest equipment: oscilloscopes and logic analyzers\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McGraw-Hill Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078875988208,"sku":"9780071639491","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780071639491_p0.jpg?v=1763635448","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780071639491","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
