Modern Component Families and Circuit Block Design

by Nihal Kularatna

Overview

Kularatna's new book describes modern component families and how to design circuit blocks using them. While much of this information may be available elsewhere, in Modern Component Families and Circuit Block Design it is integrated with additional design hints that are unique. The discussion covers most components necessary in an embedded design or a DSP-based real time system design. The chapter on modern semi-conductor sensors allows system designers to use the latest sensor ICs for real-world physical parameter sensing.

*Covers the most recent low-power components*Written by an authority on power electronics*Includes extensive illustrations and references

Editorial Reviews

. . .this book can serve as a valuable resource and application idea source for upper-division undergraduate students and faculty involved in electronic design activities; professional design engineers; and two-year technical program students.
E.M. Aupperle, University of Michigan

...beneficial not only to reinforce their technical foundation, but also to update themselves with the ever-altering electronic component systems technology

From the Publisher

Summarizes and gathers into a single volume design approaches and details previously found scattered in application notes, engineering bulletins and data books, and also provides a designer's viewpoint on modern components. The discussion covers most components necessary in an embedded design or a DSP-based real time system design. Sensors and low-power components are also featured. The book provides a practical approach to design problems rather than a generic analysis of broad engineering issues. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
