Intelligent Sensor Design Using the Microchip dsPIC
內容描述
Description
Intelligent seonsors are revolutionizing the
world of system design in everything from sports cars to assembly lines. These
new sensors have abilities that leave their predecessors in the dust! They not
only measure parameters efficiently and precisely, but they also have the
ability to enhance and interupt those measurements, thereby transformng raw
data into truly useful information.Unlike many embedded systems books
that confine themselves strictly to firmware and software, this book also
delves into the supporting electronic hardware, providing the reader with a
complete understanding of the issues involved when interfacing to specific
types of sensor and offering insight into the real-world problems designers
will face. Meaningful software examples are implemented in both C and assembly
language, and the source code is included on the accompanying CD. The examples
provide a complete, easily extensible code framework for sensor-based
applications as well as basic support routines that are often ignored or
treated superficially. The goal throughout is to make readers truly productive
as quickly as possible while providing the thorough understanding necessary to
design robust systems.Readers will gain in-depth, real-world design
information that will help them be more productive and get up to speed on
sensor design skills more quickly. The book provides designers and students a
leg up in a relatively new design area, imparting knowledge about a new
microcontroller that offers some of the functionality of a DSP chip.
• Quickly teaches the reader to design the new
wave in sensor technology, "intelligent" sensors• In-depth design
techniques, real-world examples, detailed figures and usable code•
Application chapters thoroughly exploring temperature, pressure and load, and
flow sensors• A FREE CD that provides a toolkit of software models in
both C and assembly language
