The Art of Electronics


















Language: English
File Type: PDF


About The Book:

"The Art of Electronics, by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill, is a popular textbook dealing with analog and digital electronics. It is sometimes referred to as the "electronics bible", and remains a popular text, although its most recent (2nd) edition was released in 1989.


The text is information-dense, but with an informal, light tone that makes it more accessible. At over 1000 pages (second edition) it covers virtually all areas of electronics design, from basic DC voltage, current, and resistance, to active filters and oscillators, to digital electronics, including microprocessors and digital bus interfacing. It also includes discussions of such often-neglected areas as high-frequency, high-speed design techniques and low-power applications.


The book is particularly useful because of its many example circuits. In addition to having examples of good circuits it also has examples of bad ideas, with excellent discussions of what makes the good designs good and the bad ones bad. It is a cross between a textbook and reference manual, though without the chapter-end questions and exercises that are often found in textbooks."


Simply indispensable, packed with essential information for all scientists and engineers who build electronic circuits

A Platform-Centric Approach to System-on-Chip (SOC) Design

















Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 205
Publication Date: 2004-12-15
File Type: PDF

Book Review:
The platform-centric SoC method is aimed at the design of today’s SoC systems with emphasis on real-time, embedded systems. The approach provides a guideline and an SoC design environment that promotes an integration of state-of-the-art tools and techniques necessary for the development of the systems. It renders a new and better perspective towards co-design approaches, while also raising a level of design abstraction. Because the configurable platform objects are designed off-cycle, they contribute to a general improvement in development time. By incorporating their usage, the overall method strikes a balance between total design flexibility and minimal time-to-market.

Enterprise Java with UML

















Publisher: Wiley
Number Of Pages: 480
Publication Date: 2001-01-26
File Type: PDF

Book Review:
How to use UML to model Enterprise JavaBeans, Swing components, CORBA, and other popular technologies Enterprise Java with UML is the first comprehensive guide on using UML (Unified Modeling Language) to model Java applications. Written by three well-known members of the UML and Java community, the book presents strategies for developing enterprise systems using Java and related technologies -- XML, Servlets, Enterprise JavaBeans, Swing Components, CORBA, RMI, and others. The authors explain how UML is used as a modeling tool for object-oriented computer systems in the real world, break down common situations that development teams encounter, and discuss the tradeoffs of using different technologies in different combinations. They also explore different products, looking closely at their strengths and weaknesses. Four in-depth studies complete the presentation, showing readers how to make the right decision for their project through examples of both successes and failures.

C For Dummies, 2nd Edition

















Publisher: For Dummies
Number Of Pages: 408
Publication Date: 2004-05-07
File Type: PDF

Book Review:
If you’re like most people, the above seems like nonsense. Actually, it’s computer sense—C programming. After digesting C For Dummies, 2nd Edition, you’ll understand it. C programs are fast, concise and versatile. They let you boss your computer around for a change. So turn on your computer, get a free compiler and editor (the book tells you where), pull up a chair, and get going. You won’t have to go far (page 13) to find your first program example. You’ll do short, totally manageable, hands-on exercises to help you make sense of:

* All 32 keywords in the C language (that’s right—just 32 words)
* The functions—several dozen of them
* Terms like printf(), scanf(), gets (), and puts ()
* String variables, numeric variables, and constants
* Looping and implementation
* Floating-point values

In case those terms are almost as intimidating as the idea of programming, be reassured that C For Dummies was written by Dan Gookin, bestselling author of DOS For Dummies, the book that started the whole library. So instead of using expletives and getting headaches, you’ll be using newly acquired skills and getting occasional chuckles as you discover how to:

* Design and develop programs
* Add comments (like post-it-notes to yourself) as you go
* Link code to create executable programs
* Debug and deploy your programs
* Use lint, a common tool to examine and optimize your code

A helpful, tear-out cheat sheet is a quick reference for comparison symbols, conversion characters, mathematical doodads, C numeric data types, and more. C For Dummies takes the mystery out of programming and gets you into it quickly and painlessly.
