A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO HARDWARE FUNDAMENTALS Embedded Systems Hardware for Software Engineers describes the electrical and electronic circuits that are used in embedded systems, their functions, and how they can be interfaced to other devices. Basic computer architecture topics, memory, address decoding techniques, ROM, RAM, DRAM, DDR, cache memory, and memory hierarchy are discussed. The book covers key architectural features of widely used microcontrollers and microprocessors, including Microchip's PIC32, ATMEL's AVR32, and Freescale's MC68000. Interfacing to an embedded system is then described. Data acquisition system level design considerations and a design example are presented with real-world parameters and characteristics. Serial interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, PC, and USB are addressed and printed circuit boards and high-speed signal propagation over transmission lines are covered with a minimum of math. A brief survey of logic families of integrated circuits and programmable logic devices is also contained in this in-depth resource. COVERAGE INCLUDES: Architecture examples Memory Memory address decoding Read-only memory and other related devices Input and output ports Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters Interfacing to external devices Transmission lines Logic families of integrated circuits and their signaling characteristics The printed circuit board Programmable logic devices Test equipment: oscilloscopes and logic analyzers

This book explains my experiences in learning Python and implementing the same .And this topic-"Python: A Kids and Hardware Engineer's Perspective "- because not many books are targeted for this audience for the language in which I think is the easiest path to make your dreams into reality. Python must be the ideal choice for removing the hesitation to get into coding and make your hands dirty-this is the feeling which haunts both hardware engineers and kids equally for a programming language.

Computer science is one of the hottest and most in-demand professional fields. Within computer science, hardware engineering offers many exciting career opportunities, including designing new hardware and managing computer network security. With more women entering STEM fields, this book provides a much-needed practical guide for girls who love technology. Profiles of real women working in hardware engineering provide inspiration and a behind-the-scenes look at what these jobs involve. This easy-to-follow guide highlights different types of engineering jobs that girls may want to pursue, educational requirements, and tips for a successful job search.

“Valuable books can make up a valuable person" This book explains advanced components of hardware parts. All the internal components of motherboard are explained neatly. The comparison between existing and advanced processor are described. The usage of peripheral devices is given. Assembling the hardware parts of a new system are illustrated as a step by step procedure with neat snapshots after assembling the hardware parts booting the Operating system are also demonstrated. This book guides you to become a hardware engineer with in fifteen days so everyone must take this training kit. After reading this book you itself can gently say that “PC Hardware Engineering on My Pocket”

A one-semester, undergraduate course stressing the use of information transfer concepts necessary to analysis and design of modern digital systems. It is organized to provide an integrated overview of the various classes of digital information-processing systems and devices and the interrelationship between the hardware and software techniques that can be used to solve problems.

There are many books on computers, networks, and software engineering but none that integrate the three with applications. Integration is important because, increasingly, software dominates the performance, reliability, maintainability, and availability of complex computer and systems. Books on software engineering typically portray software as if it exists in a vacuum with no relationship to the wider system. This is wrong because a system is more than software. It is comprised of people, organizations, processes, hardware, and software. All of these components must be considered in an integrative fashion when designing systems. On the other hand, books on computers and networks do not demonstrate a deep understanding of the intricacies of developing software. In this book you will learn, for example, how to quantitatively analyze the performance, reliability, maintainability, and availability of computers, networks, and software in relation to the total system. Furthermore, you will learn how to evaluate and mitigate the risk of deploying integrated systems. You will learn how to apply many models dealing with the optimization of systems. Numerous quantitative examples are provided to help you understand and interpret model results. This book can be used as a first year graduate course in computer, network, and software engineering; as an on-the-job reference for computer, network, and software engineers; and as a reference for these disciplines.

Finally, here is a single volume containing all of the engineering information needed to successfully design and implement any type of wireless network! Author Dan Dobkin covers every aspect of RF engineering necessary for wireless networks. He begins with a review of essential math and electromagnetic theory followed by thorough discussions of multiplexing, modulation types, bandwidth, link budgets, network concepts, radio system architectures, RF amplifiers, mixers and frequency conversion, filters, single-chip radio systems, antenna theory and designs, signal propagation, as well as planning and implementing wireless networks for both indoor and outdoor environments. The appendices contain such vital data as U.S., European, and Japanese technical and regulatory standards for wireless networks, measurements in wireless networks, reflection and matching of transmission lines, determining power density, and much more. No matter what type of wireless network you design—Bluetooth, UWB, or even metropolitan area network (MAN)—this book is the one reference you can’t do without! The A-to-Z guide to wireless network engineering—covers everything from basic electromagnetic theory to modulation techniques to network planning and implementation! Engineering and design principles covered are applicable to any type of wireless network, including 802.11, 802.16, 802.20, and Bluetooth. Discusses state-of-the-art modulation techniques such as ultra wideband (UWB) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM).
