The extensively revised 3rd edition of CMOS VLSI Design details modern techniques for the design of complex and high performance CMOS Systems-on-Chip. The authors draw upon extensive industry and classroom experience to explain modern practices of chip design. The introductory chapter covers transistor operation, CMOS gate design, fabrication, and layout at a level accessible to anyone with an elementary knowledge of digital electornics. Later chapters beuild up an in-depth discussion of the des...

Many electrical and computer engineering projects involve some kind of embedded system in which a microcontroller sits at the center as the primary source of control. The recently-developed Arduino development platform includes an inexpensive hardware development board hosting an eight-bit ATMEL ATmega-family processor and a Java-based software-development environment. These features allow an embedded systems beginner the ability to focus their attention on learning how to write embedded softwa...

Taking the mystery out of today's PC, this self-paced, troubleshooting exercise book empowers students with a hands-on, working knowledge of the personal computer's internal operation—covering all major hardware aspects, including the motherboard, floppy and hard drives, CD-ROMs, display adapters, sound cards, and modems. A valuable resource for students of all computer skill levels, it employs a fictitious compute...

The only recent book on dependability/fault-tolerance that covers both software and hardware aspects of dependability, Dependable Computing Design and Assessment addresses the new reality of dependability. After a discussion of reliability, availability, and hardware and software fault models, the authors explore hardware redundancy, coding techniques, processor-level error detection and recovery, checkpoint and recovery, software fault tolerance techniques, and network-specific issues. Ideal fo...

Multimedia considerably enhances the scope of the personal computer by integrating video, audio CD, photographs, text, data and grpahics. Concentrating on multimedia applications using Digital Video Interactive (DVI), this book offers advice on production, budgeting and management, programming techniques, creating and programming software tools for DVI technology applications, and final testing, distribution media and copyright issues.

This text on the motion of non-rigid and articulated objects includes such topics as: human tracking; modelling and analysis of motion; and biomedical applications."

The physical design flow of any project depends upon the size of the design, the technology, the number of designers, the clock frequency, and the time to do the design. As technology advances and design-styles change, physical design flows are constantly reinvented as traditional phases are removed and new ones are added to accommodate changes in

Professionals in the video and multimedia industries need a book that explains industry standards for video coding and how to convert the compressed information between standards. Digital Video Transcoding for Transmission and Storage answers this demand while also supplying the theories and principles of video compression and transcoding technologies. Emphasizing digital video transcoding techniques, this book summarizes its content via examples of practical methods for transcoder implementatio...

Fins have been used historically as reliable design features for thermal management, which continues to be an important problem in engineering today. This book develops heat transfer models for progressively complex fin designs. Mathematicians, engineers, and analysts may equally benefit from the content as it provides the reader with numerical and analytical tools to approach general and thermal management heat transfer problems. The main focus is on the COMSOL (R) Multiphysics Heat Transfer mo...
