Embedded controller hardware design

Ken Arnold is an experienced embedded systems designer and president of HiTech Equipment, Inc., an embedded systems design firm located in San Diego, California. He also teaches courses in embedded hardware and software design at the University of California-San Diego. Gives the reader an integrated hardware/software approach to embedded controller design Stresses a "worst case" design approach for the harsh environments in which embedded systems are often used Includes design examples to make important concepts come alive Embedded Controller Hardware Design is THE definitive guide to designing reliable microcontrolelr hardware for real-world applications. It is a thorough introduction to embedded hardware design that stresses designing for reliability in "real world" applications. The book provides a comprehensive overview of microcontroller architecture, design analysis, memory technologies, handling interrupts, techniques for hardware interfacing, designing for reliability, and handling issues found in real-world applications. The author discusses hardware and software design in an integrated fashio
