      The AVR RISC Microcontroller Handbook is a comprehensive guide to designing with Atmel's new controller family, which is designed to offer high speed and low power consumption at a lower cost. The main text is divided into three sections: hardware, which covers all internal peripherals; software, which covers programming and the instruction set; and tools, which explains using Atmel's Assembler and Simulator (available on the Web) as well as IAR's C compiler.

      Debugging Embedded Microprocessor Systems provides techniques for engineers, technicians, and students who need to correct design faults in embedded systems. Using real-world scenarios, designers can learn practical, time-saving ways to avoid and repair potentially costly problems. Prevention is stressed. In this book, the author addresses hardware and software issues, including up-front design techniques to prevent bugs and contain design creep. Practical advice includes descriptions of common tools which can be used to help identify and repair bugs, as well as test routines. RTOS and embedded PC environments are also covered. Each chapter of Debugging Embedded Microprocessor Systems opens with an example design problem which illustrates real-world issues such as design changes, time pressures, equipment or component availability, etc. Case studies of past debugging projects are presented in the final chapter.

      The conference "Advanced Materials for Interconnections" took place in Strasbourg on 4-7 June 1996 hosted by the EMRS Society. Based on the recent trends in microelectronics the main topics of the conference were new materials for interconnects like special aluminum alloys, tungsten and copper as well as low k dielectric materials.64 Papers were presented at the conference and 51 of these are contained as full length papers within this volume of Microelectronic Engineering.The proceedings are divided into 5 chapters. Chapter 1 related to Metallization discusses cluster equipment for IC manufacturing, copper advanced technology, gap filling, mechanical reliability, deposition technology, electroless and electro-plating, copper metallization copper interconnects and patterning of aluminum. Chapter 2, Process Integration, discusses multilevel interconnect, study on thin-film SOI devices, wet cleanings, influence of material characteristics and deposition processes, copper contamination and metallization, plasma behaviour, CMP processes, sub-micron inverse metallisation, interconnect formation and mechanical polishing investigations. Chapter 3 covers Barriers, and chapter 4 studies, evaluates and monitors Dielectrics. The final chapter looks at modelling comparisons.

      A vast range of audio and audio-associated ICs are readily available for use by design engineers and technicians. This handbook is a comprehensive guide to the most popular and useful of these devices, including about 370 circuits with diagrams. It deals with ICs such as low frequency linear amplifiers, dual pre-amplifiers, audio power amplifiers, charge coupled device delay lines, bar-graph display drivers, and power supply regulators. It shows how to use these devices in circuits ranging from simple signal conditioners and filters to complex graphic equalisers, stereo amplifier systems, and echo/reverb delay line systems. Not only does this Handbook contain a huge collection of circuits using state-of-the-art and readily available ICs, but also it gives a thorough grounding in theoretical information relating to the various aspects of modern audio systems and to various dedicated types of audio ICs. Newnes Circuits Manuals and User's Handbooks by Ray Marston cover a wide range of electronics subjects in an easy-to-read and non-mathematical manner, presenting the reader with many practical applications and circuits. They are specifically written for the practising design engineer, technician, and the experimenter, as well as the electronics students and amateur. The ICs and other devices used in the practical circuits are modestly priced and readily available types, with universally recognised type numbers. Ray Marston has proved, through hundreds of circuits articles and books, that he is one of the leading circuit designers and writers in the world. He has written extensively for Popular Electronics, Electronics Now, Electronics and Beyond, Electronics World, Electronics Today International and Electronics Australia, amongst others.

      Oscillators have traditionally been described in books for specialist needs and as such have suffered from being inaccessible to the practitioner. This book takes a practical approach and provides much-needed insights into the design of oscillators, the servicing of systems heavily dependent upon them and the tailoring of practical oscillators to specific demands. To this end maths and formulae are kept to a minimum and only used where appropriate to an understanding of the theory. Once grasped, the theory of the general oscillator is easily put into practical use in actual oscillators. The final two chapters present a collection of oscillators from which the practising engineer or the hobbyist can obtain useful guidance for many kinds of projects. Irving Gottlieb is a leading author of many books for practising engineers, technicians and students of electronic and electrical engineering.

      Microprocessor ICs are the most complicated part of TV equipment and present special problems to the engineer when fault finding. Complementing the first volume in this series, Television IC Data Files, the most popular microprocessor ICs used in televisions are covered here. Each device is presented graphically with the relevant data information given against each pin to enable the engineer to quickly compare voltage measurements and signal in/out data on a faulty device, with those in the book. All the measurements and signal data in the book were taken under actual working conditions.The purpose of this book is to provide the workshop technician and the field engineer with a valuable and convenient method of fault finding without the need to consult workshop manuals which are often expensive or indeed out of stock. As such it will also be of interest to those on television training courses. John Edwards runs his own audio visual services company and has contributed numerous articles to the trade magazine Television.
