ZigBee is a standard based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for
wireless personal networks. This standard allows for the creation
of very lost cost and low power networks - these applications run
for years rather than months. These networks are created from
sensors and actuators and can wireless control many electrical
products such as remote controls, medical, industrial, and security
sensors.
Hundreds of companies are creating applications including
Mitsubishi, Motorola, Freescale, and Siemens. This book is written
for engineers who plan to develop ZigBee applications and networks,
to understand how they work, and to evaluate this technology to see
if it is appropriate to a particular project. This book does not
simply state facts but explains what ZigBee can do through detailed
code examples.

Jack Ganssle has been forming the careers of embedded engineers for
20+ years. He has done this with four books, over 500 articles, a
weekly column, and continuous lecturing. Technology moves fast and
since the first edition of this best-selling classic much has
changed. The new edition will reflect the author's new and ever
evolving philosophy in the face of new technology and realities.
Now more than ever an overarching philosophy of development is
needed before just sitting down to build an application. Practicing
embedded engineers will find that Jack provides a high-level
strategic plan of attack to the often times chaotic and ad hoc
design and development process. He helps frame and solve the issues
an engineer confronts with real-time code and applications,
hardware and software coexistences, and streamlines detail
management.

Intra-system EMC problems are becoming increasingly common in
mobile devices, ranging from notebook PCs to cell phones, with
RF/wireless capbilities. These issues range from minor annoyances
to serious glitches which impede the functioning of the device.
This book gives a thourough review of electromagnetic theory
(including Maxwell's equations), discusses possible sources and
causes of intra-system interference, shows to use models and
analysis to discover potential sources of intra-system EMC in a
design, how to use appropriate tests and measurements to detect
intra-system EMC problems, and finally extensively discusses
measures to mitigate or totally eliminate intra-system EMC
problems. With more and more mobile devices incorporating wirless
capability (often with multiple wireless systems, such as Bluetooth
and WiFi), this book should be part of the reference shelf of every
RF/wireless engineer and mobile device designer.
*Throughouly describes sources of intra-system interference in
RF/wireless devices and how to minimize them for maximum device
performance
*Gives proven techniques for interference mitigation, ranging from
the simple (component placement and cable routing) to the advanced
(such as the use of shielding and signal absorption
materials)
*Discusses modeling and analysis methods to predict likely sources
of intras-system EMC
*Explains test and measurement techniques to detect intra-system
EMC problems.
The second Edition of the Handbook of Silicon Wafer Cleaning
Technology is intended to provide knowledge of wet, plasma, and
other surface conditioning techniques used to manufacture
integrated circuits. The integration of the clean processes into
the device manufacturing flow will be presented with respect to
other manufacturing steps such as thermal, implant, etching, and
photolithography processes. The Handbook discusses both wet and
plasma-based cleaning technologies that are used for removing
contamination, particles, residue, and photoresist from wafer
surfaces. Both the process and the equipment are covered. A review
of the current cleaning technologies is included. Also, advanced
cleaning technologies that are under investigation for next
generation processing are covered; including supercritical fluid,
laser, and cryoaerosol cleaning techniques. Additionally
theoretical aspects of the cleaning technologies and how these
processes affect the wafer is discussed such as device damage and

How do you balance battery life with performance and cost?
This book shows you how!
Now that "mobile" has become the standard, the consumer not only
expects mobility but demands power longevity in wireless devices.
As more and more features, computing power, and memory are packed
into mobile devices such as iPods, cell phones, and cameras, there
is a large and growing gap between what devices can do and the
amount of energy engineers can deliver. In fact, the main limiting
factor in many portable designs is not hardware or software, but
instead how much power can be delivered to the device. This book
describes various design approaches to reduce the amount of power a
circuit consumes and techniques to effectively manage the available
power.
Power Management Advice On:
-Low Power Packaging Techniques
-Power and Clock Gating
-Energy Efficient Compilers
-Various Display Technologies
-Linear vs. Switched Regulators
-Software Techniques and Intelligent Algorithms
* Addresses power versus performance that each newly developed
mobile device faces
* Robust case studies drawn from the author's 30 plus years of
extensive real world experience are included
* Both hardware and software are discussed concerning their roles
in power

Adding internet access to embedded systems opens up a whole new
world of capabilities. For example, a remote data logging system
could automatically send data via the internet and be reconfigured
- such as to log new types of data or to measure at different
intervals - by commands sent over the internet from any computer or
device with internet access. Embedded internet and internet
appliances are the focus of great attention in the computing
industry, as they are seen as the future of computing, but the
design of such devices presents many technical challenges.;This
book describes how to design, build and program embedded systems
with internet access, giving special attention to sensors and
actuators which gather data for transmission over the internet or
execute commands sent by the internet, It shows how to build
sensors and control devices that connect to the "tiny internet
interface" (TINI) and explains how to write programs that control
them in Java. Several design case histories are given, including
weather monitoring stations, communications centres, automation
systems, and data acquisitions systems. The authors discuss how
these technologies work and where to get detailed specifications,
and they provide ideas for the reader to pursue beyond the book.
The accompanying CD-ROM includes Java source code for all the
applications described in the book, and an electronic version of
the text.
Despite the complexity of the subject, this wealth of information
is presented succinctly and in such a way, using tables, diagrams
and brief explanatory text, as to allow the user to locate
information quickly and easily. Thus the book should be invaluable
to those involved with the installation, commissioning and
maintenance of data communications equipment, as well as the end
user.

This is a guide for the system designers and installers faced with
the day-to-day issues of achieving EMC, and will be found valuable
across a wide range of roles and sectors, including process
control, manufacturing, medical, IT and building management. The
EMC issues covered will also make this book essential reading for
product manufacturers and suppliers - and highly relevant for
managers as well as technical staff.
The authors' approach is thoroughly practical - all areas of
installation EMC are covered, with particular emphasis on cabling
and earthing. Students on MSc and CPD programmes will also find in
this book some valuable real-world antidotes to the academic
treatises.
The book is presented in two parts: the first is non-technical, and
looks at the need for EMC in the context of systems and
installations, with a chapter on the management aspects of EMC. The
second part covers the technical aspects of EMC, looking at the
various established methods which can be applied to ensure
compatibility, and setting these in the context of the new
responsibilities facing system builders.

This book provides the knowledge and good design practice for the
design or test engineer to take the necessary measures to improve
EMC performance and therefore the chance of achieving compliance,
early on in the design process.
There are many advantages for both the component supplier and
consumer, of looking at EMC at component and PCB level. For the
suppliers, not only will their products have the competitive edge
because they have known EMC performance, but they will be prepared
should EMC compliance become mandatory in the future. For consumers
it is a distinct advantage to know how a component will behave
within a system with regard to EMC.
