Analog Interfacing to Embedded Microprocessor Systems (Embedded Technology Series)
Analog Interfacing to Embedded Microprocessors addresses the technologies and methods used in interfacing analog devices to microprocessors, providing in-depth coverage of practical control applications, op amp examples, and much more. A companion to the author's popular Embedded Microprocessor Systems: Real World Design, this new embedded systems book focuses on measurement and control of analog quantities in embedded systems that are required to interface to the real world.
At a time when modern electronic systems are increasingly digital, a comprehensive source on interfacing the real world to microprocessors should prove invaluable to embedded systems engineers, students, technicians, and hobbyists. Anyone involved in connecting the analog environment to their digital machines, or troubleshooting such connections will find this book especially useful. Stuart Ball is also the author of Debugging Embedded Microprocessor Systems, both published by Newnes. Additionally, Stuart has written articles for periodicals such as Circuit Cellar INK, Byte, and Modern Electronics.
* Provides hard-to-find information on interfacing analog devices and technologies to the purely digital world of embedded microprocessors
* Gives the reader the insight and perspective of a real embedded systems design engineer, including tips that only a hands-on professional would know
* Covers important considerations for both hardware and software systems when linking analog and digital devices
Why Read This Book
You will learn how to connect real‑world analog signals to microprocessors: practical op‑amp circuits, sensor conditioning, ADC/DAC selection and interfacing, filtering and anti‑aliasing, and grounding/noise mitigation techniques. The book emphasizes hands‑on design examples and pragmatic rules of thumb that help you avoid common mixed‑signal pitfalls when building embedded measurement and control systems.
Who Will Benefit
Best suited for embedded engineers, hardware designers, and advanced students with basic electronics knowledge who need to design or debug analog front‑ends and sensor interfaces for microcontroller or embedded‑processor projects.
