PIC Microcontrollers are a favorite in industry and with hobbyists.
These microcontrollers are versatile, simple, and low cost making
them perfect for many different applications. The 8-bit PIC is
widely used in consumer electronic goods, office automation, and
personal projects. Author, Dogan Ibrahim, author of several PIC
books has now written a book using the PIC18 family of
microcontrollers to create projects with SD cards.
PIC microcontrollers are used worldwide in commercial and
industrial devices. The 8-bit PIC which this book focuses on is a
versatile work horse that completes many designs. An engineer
working with applications that include a microcontroller will no
doubt come across the PIC sooner rather than later. It is a must to
have a working knowledge of this 8-bit technology.
This book enables design engineers to be more effective in
designing discrete and integrated circuits by helping them
understand the role of analog devices in their circuit design.
Analog elements are at the heart of many important functions in
both discrete and integrated circuits, but from a design
perspective the analog components are often the most difficult to
understand. Examples include operational amplifiers, D/A and A/D
converters and active filters. Effective circuit design requires a
strong understanding of the operation of these analog devices and
how they affect circuit design.
What doesn't have a video component nowadays? IPod, cell phone,

Fabless (no fabrication) IC (integrated circuit) techniques are
growing rapidly and promise to become the standard method of IC
manufacturing in the near future, this book will provide readers
with what will soon be required knowledge of the subject. Other
books on IC fabrication deal with the strictly physical process
aspects of the topic and assume all factors in IC fabrication are
under the control of the IC designing company. By contrast, this
title recognizing that fabless IC design is often as much about
managing business relationships as it is about physical processes.
"Fabless" ICs are those designed and marketed by one company but
actually manufactured by another.
In addition to its thorough coverage of DSP design and programming
techniques, Smith also covers the operation and usage of DSP chips.
