He has authored around 30 technical magazine articles and conference papers, and chaired the IEEE Avionics, Fiber Optics, and Photonics Conference in 2009-10. His principal areas of work are analog circuit design, microcontroller applications, and fiber optics system design. Klappentext With the focus on low power consumption in electronic devices becoming more important, the MSP430 microcontroller is becoming an increasingly popular choice for engineers. However, the understanding needed to apply these devices in a design can be daunting for those new to this particular microcontroller. This book provides a careful explanation of the basic areas of electronics and computer architecture, along with lots of examples, to demonstrate the specific examples of interface, sensor design, and microcontroller peripheral setup necessary for embedded systems development.
