    • 1st Edition
    • Nihal Kularatna
    • English
    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.

  • Practical Electronics Handbook

    • 5th Edition
    • Ian Sinclair
    • English
    Ian Sinclair's Practical Electronics Handbook is one of the most widely used reference texts in the business. It is a unique collection of all the key data, facts, practical guidance and circuit design basics needed by a spectrum of students, electronics enthusiasts, technicians, circuit designers and other professionals. This is far more than just an encyclopaedia however - Ian Sinclair provides a wealth of clear explanations and practical guidance making this the ideal text for all students and practitioners of electronics who have progressed beyond the basics. The fifth edition has been updated throughout and includes new sections on SHF techniques used in satellite receivers and the practical electronics of intruder alarms and other security systems.

  • Multifunction Peripherals for PCs

    Technology, Troubleshooting and Repair
    • 1st Edition
    • Marvin Hobbs
    • English
    Multifunction devices combine the essentials of a fax machine, printer, scanner, and copier into one peripheral for small and home offices. As the market for this equipment grows, the need for skilled repair and maintenance increases. Unfortunately the service documentation supplied by the manufacturers is completely inadequate making the repair jobs even harder and more expensive. Marvin Hobbs teaches you how multifunction peripherals work in theory and in practice with lots of hands-on examples and important troubleshooting and repair tips you don't want to miss. This book fills a gap in the literature, and will be a welcome addition to the library of any technician or do-it-yourselfer.

  • Digital Design for Interference Specifications

    A Practical Handbook for EMI Suppression
    • 2nd Edition
    • David Terrell + 1 more
    • English
    Based on over twenty years of hands-on experience with electromagnetic interference (EMI), Digital Design for Interference Specifications provides circuit designers concrete rules that can be applied immediately to the design of new digital products. The authors' techniques emphasize EMI source suppression at the printed circuit board level and considers shielding only as a last resort. The material is written in a how-to format with brief qualitative explanations of why or how design recommendations suppress emissions or reduce susceptibility. The described approaches toward design and prevention of EMI will save manufacturers time, product cost, and enhance manufacturability. Best of all, designers will not have to be EMI gurus to implement these processes but they will definitely look like experts when the final outcome is assessed.Digital Design for Interference Specifications is a very well written book targeted directly toward circuit designers and EMI professionals. The authors built a consulting company out of the knowledge presented in the book working with a huge list of clients over the years. The material is written to directly apply to circuit designers' projects helping them save money and time on each design. The book is heavily and clearly illustrated.

  • EMC for Systems and Installations

    • 1st Edition
    • Tim Williams + 1 more
    • English
    This is a guide for the system designers and installers faced with the day-to-day issues of achieving EMC, and will be found valuable across a wide range of roles and sectors, including process control, manufacturing, medical, IT and building management. The EMC issues covered will also make this book essential reading for product manufacturers and suppliers - and highly relevant for managers as well as technical staff. The authors' approach is thoroughly practical - all areas of installation EMC are covered, with particular emphasis on cabling and earthing. Students on MSc and CPD programmes will also find in this book some valuable real-world antidotes to the academic treatises. The book is presented in two parts: the first is non-technical, and looks at the need for EMC in the context of systems and installations, with a chapter on the management aspects of EMC. The second part covers the technical aspects of EMC, looking at the various established methods which can be applied to ensure compatibility, and setting these in the context of the new responsibilities facing system builders. EMC for Systems and Installations is designed to complement Tim Williams' highly successful EMC for Product Designers.
