covers the basics and applications of electronics. Electronics advancements such as Blu-ray, HD, 3D TV, digital TV and radio, small computers, robotic systems, and more are covered in this book. Without requiring access to costly equipment or laboratories, it introduces readers to the fundamental ideas and technological aspects of contemporary electronics.
Beginning with an explanation of "what is electricity?" The first course in electrical engineering explores the basic theory and use of electronics. It goes on to summarize the key concepts and ideas while consistently relating them to real-world examples. Sections on tools and troubleshooting provide engineers with a deeper understanding and the skills needed to set up and manage their own electronic design projects. Unlike other books that just describe electronics and provide step-by-step building instructions, EE101 delves into the concepts and workings of electricity and electronics, giving readers the knowledge and abilities to deepen their comprehension of the field. Technical terms, jargon, and schematics are explained as they arise in an approachable style.
explains the wireless communication between UHF tags and readers. This book explains what restricts a tag's read range, how to extend it (and why doing so could violate the law), and the practical issues that must be taken into consideration when developing and deploying RFID technology.
Written for Electrical Engineers and others hoping to get into FPGA design, VHDL 101 makes the assumption that readers have some familiarity with engineering "process" and a foundational understanding of digital design. The reader is quickly brought up to speed on methods and functions frequently used in VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language), along with commands and data types, by industry expert Bill Kafig. For optimal comprehension, the content is accompanied by extensive, straightforward, and complete designs. A section on design re-use, which is crucial for today's engineers who must meet deadlines and cut costs per unit, closes the book. * Quickly brings you up to speed on VHDL, cutting costs and time to market. * Covers commonly used industry nomenclature. * Learn from "best design practices"; For ease of learning, it covers the fundamentals, including language concepts, and provides thorough design examples.
According to a recent poll, 52% of embedded projects are four to five months behind schedule. With design patterns, this book can help you turn in those projects on schedule. The author carefully considers the unique issues of concurrency, communication, speed, and memory usage that arise when designing and developing embedded applications. UML (Unified Modeling Language) patterns are provided along with ANSI C examples for easy and practical application to C code.
provides all the information you require regarding the architecture of 16-Bit PIC Microcontroller chips, including programming, testing, and debugging techniques. This book is appropriate for both novices and seasoned PIC users, such as embedded engineers, programmers, designers, and SW and HW engineers.
Step-by-step instructions for using the Cadence/OrCAD family of Electronic Design Automation software for analog design and simulation are provided in Analog Design and Simulation using OrCAD Capture and PSpice. It describes how to launch Capture and set up the project type and libraries for PSpice simulation. It is divided into 22 chapters, each of which has exercises at the end. It also discusses how to compute a circuit is frequency and phase response using AC analysis and its bias point across a range of values using DC analysis. The book covers using Stimulus Editor to define transient analog and digital sources, as well as parametric sweeps, which entail moving a parameter through a range of values.
