This book introduces microcontroller theory using the Parallax
BASIC Stamp I, II, and IIsx. The BASIC Stamp microcontroller is
based on Microchip's PIC hardware with some modifications and is
very approachable for beginning users. Once the basic theory is
established, BASIC Stamp, 2/E walks the reader through applications
suitable for designers as well as the home hobbyist. These
applications can be used as is or as a basis for further
modifications to suit specific design needs. BASIC Stamp, 2/E
thoroughly explains the hardware base of the BASIC Stamp
microcontroller including internal architecture, the peripheral
functions, as well as providing the technical data sheets for each
kind of chip. The authors also explain the BASIC Stamp development
systems including DOS and Windows-based tools in tremendous detail.
As an added feature, BASIC Stamp, 2/E includes full instructions
for using PBASIC programming and formatting. The book provides many
specific applications for microcontroller use, complete with
programming instructions, including: single instructions, multiple
instructions, interfacing directions, and more complex applications

A hands-on guide to finding the sources of electromagnetic interference and then fixing the problems. Includes basic theory of EMI as well as detailed explanations of why this problem is becoming more serious as the international scope of the communications and electronics industries grow. This book is not a textbook, but rather a handbook that will become a constant source of reference for anyone who runs into trouble with EMI. Includes chapters on grounding, circuit shielding and filtering, preventing EMI in circuit design, as well as EMI sources such as power lines, transmitters, television, consumer electronics, telephones, automobiles, and the ever-frustrating mystery EMI. There are very few other books available even though EMI is
constantly discussed and cursed. Most of the books on the market
are about how to prevent EMI in circuit design or approaches to
understanding the theory behind EMI. Though this information is
important, especially to an engineering audience, these books hold
no value at all to the technicians and hands-on practitioners in
the fields of communications and servicing.These savvy
professionals know that the book they are looking for and need is
just not on the market. To get the information they need, this
group is forced to read every magazine article they can find on the
subject and rely on the advice of other professionals whether
through technician groups or newsgroups. This book fills a void in
the telecommunications and electronics industries by providing
practical troubleshooting information.
Easy to use, the volume is organized into major scientific categories and subcategories. Many of the quotes are hilarious, and all are insightful. Each quote is carefully referenced, and relevant information about the speaker is also provided.
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.
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
