Embedded microcomputer systems : real time interfacing

Embedded Microcomputer Systems : Real Time Interfacing provides an in-depth discussion of the design of real-time embedded systems using 9S12 microcontrollers. This book covers the hardware aspects of interfacing, advanced software topics (including interrupts), and a systems approach to typical embedded applications. This text stands out from other microcomputer systems books because of its balanced, in-depth treatment of both hardware and software issues important in real time embedded systems design. It features a wealth of detailed case studies that demonstrate basic concepts in the context of actual working examples of systems. Features: 1 Content on the now obsolete 6811 microcontroller has been removed in this new edition 2 Includes numerous new design examples. 3 Many new exercises have been added which are divided into "Simple Answer" "Detailed Design" and "Lab Assignments" sections. 4 Additional content in the sections on real-time operating systems (Chapter 5) and file systems (Chapter 10). 5 Brand new sections on: requirements documents, MOS circuits, low power design, transmission lines, parallel programming, recursion, logic analyzers, modular programming, synchronization using semaphores, pseudo vectors, time jitter, I2C, motor electromagn 6 Emphasizes the importance of combining concepts and examples as an effective method of educating student engineers. 7 Presents a complete bottom-up approach to embedded systems. 8 Rich with detailed case studies that illustrate the basic concepts in the context of actual working embedded systems applications. 9 Numerous Checkpoint questions interspersed throughout the text test conceptual understanding as students read.
