Book SynopsisThis textbook for courses in Embedded Systems introduces students to necessary concepts, through a hands-on approach. LEARN BY EXAMPLE – This book is designed to teach the material the way it is learned, through example. Every concept is supported by numerous programming examples that provide the reader with a step-by-step explanation for how and why the computer is doing what it is doing. LEARN BY DOING – This book targets the Texas Instruments MSP430 microcontroller. This platform is a widely popular, low-cost embedded system that is used to illustrate each concept in the book. The book is designed for a reader that is at their computer with an MSP430FR2355 LaunchPadTM Development Kit plugged in so that each example can be coded and run as they learn. LEARN BOTH ASSEMBLY AND C – The book teaches the basic operation of an embedded computer using assembly language so that the computer operation can be explored at a low-level. Once more complicated systems are introduced (i.e., timers, analog-to-digital converters, and serial interfaces), the book moves into the C programming language. Moving to C allows the learner to abstract the operation of the lower-level hardware and focus on understanding how to “make things work”. BASED ON SOUND PEDAGOGY - This book is designed with learning outcomes and assessment at its core. Each section addresses a specific learning outcome that the student should be able to “do” after its completion. The concept checks and exercise problems provide a rich set of assessment tools to measure student performance on each outcome.Table of ContentsCHAPTER 1.

Book SynopsisThis textbook uses design insight, real-life examples, illustrative figures, easy-to-follow equations, and simple SPICE code to show how semiconductor devices (diodes, bipolar-junction transistors (BJTs), and metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) field-effect transistors (FETs) ) work independently and collectively in switched-inductor power supplies; how these power supplies transfer power, consume power, and react and respond across frequency; how feedback loops switch, control, and stabilize them; and how the building blocks that comprise them are implemented and designed. This book is focused and complete, with a holistic approach and perspective on power IC design that extends from semiconductor devices to fully-closed feedback systems. Readers will develop the insight needed to interpret, assess, and design switched inductor power ICs, which almost all electronic systems need, yet no other book addresses this way.Table of Contents1.
