Description
All the design and development inspiration and direction an electronics engineer needs in one blockbuster book! John Donovan, Editor-in Chief, Portable Design has selected the very best electronic design material from the Newnes portfolio and has compiled it into this volume. The result is a book covering the gamut of electronic design from design fundamentals to low-power approaches with a strong pragmatic emphasis. In addition to specific design techniques and practices, this book also discusses various approaches to solving electronic design problems and how to successfully apply theory to actual design tasks. The material has been selected for its timelessness as well as for its relevance to contemporary electronic design issues. Contents: Chapter 1 System Resource Partitioning and Code Optimization Chapter 2 Low Power Design Techniques, Design Methodology, and Tools Chapter 3 System-Level Approach to Energy Conservation Chapter 4 Radio Communication Basics Chapter 5 Applications and Technologies Chapter 6 RF Design Tools Chapter 7 On Memory Systems and Their Design Chapter 8 Storage in Mobile Consumer Electronics Devices Chapter 9 Analog Low-Pass Filters Chapter 10 Class A Amplifiers Chapter 11 MPEG-4 and H.264 Chapter 12 Liquid Crystal Displays
