Embedded controller electronics are at the heart of virtually all modern electronic devices today with a market of more than $86 billion per year and growing. To serve the needs of designers creating products for this huge market, this practical book covers topics crucial for modern electronics design.

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.

An Introduction to electronics gives the basics of Ohms law, Kirchhoff’s current & voltage laws, current and voltage sources, how resistors, capacitors and inductors function, and similar. A typical curriculum will treat these things as ideal to clearly convey the basics. Unfortunately, academic simplifications can be misleading. Real world applications frequently run into problems when ideal concepts fall short. Nothing is ideal.

The Chapter 1 takes a brief look at some of the “less than ideal” components seen in real world applications, how they differ from ideal devices, and where designers need to pay attention to the limitations of non-ideal devices. This chapter is about building an awareness of problems that are commonly encountered; while the rest of the book develops solutions to, or, strategies to avoid, these issues. In order to solve any problem, the designer needs to be aware of the problem first. Again, nothing is ideal.

Modern electronic systems are predominantly digital, but most design problems are analog in origin. Items such as noise, signal integrity, power stability, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and connection impedance are common problems. These issues can quickly degrade, or render nonfunctional, any electronic system. Digital systems are more tolerant of these issues, but fully digital devices can be broken by analog limitations.

Topics include:

Ideal versus actual connections, components, digital, signals
Architecting an embedded system
Digital interface selection by application, speed, distance
Multivoltage power supplies
High frequency power integrity
Battery and charging systems
EMI reduction and ESD protection
Driving and sensing peripherals
Digital feedback control
Optimization of power consumption and cost
Specialty systems: medical, industrial, aerospace
PCB 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.
