The book presents laboratory experiments concerning ARM microcontrollers, and discusses the architecture of the Tiva Cortex-M4 ARM microcontrollers from Texas Instruments, describing various ways of programming them. Given the meager peripherals and sensors available on the kit, the authors describe the design of Padma – a circuit board with a large set of peripherals and sensors that connects to the Tiva Launchpad and exploits the Tiva microcontroller family's on-chip features. ARM microcontrollers, which are classified as 32-bit devices, are currently the most popular of all microcontrollers. They cover a wide range of applications that extend from traditional 8-bit devices to 32-bit devices. Of the various ARM subfamilies, Cortex-M4 is a middle-level microcontroller that lends itself well to data acquisition and control as well as digital signal manipulation applications. Given the prominence of ARM microcontrollers, it is important that they should be incorporated in academic curriculums. However, there is a lack of up-to-date teaching material – textbooks and comprehensive laboratory manuals. In this book each of the microcontroller's resources – digital input and output, timers and counters, serial communication channels, analog-to-digital conversion, interrupt structure and power management features – are addressed in a set of more than 70 experiments to help teach a full semester course on these microcontrollers. Beyond these physical interfacing exercises, it describes an inexpensive BoB (break out board) that allows students to learn how to design and build standalone projects, as well a number of illustrative projects.

We can say that in this serie we will give to the readers the opportunity to have in their tablets, iPhones, iPads and PCs a powerful source of ideas for projects and informartions. Microcrocontrollers such as Arduino, MSP430, PICs and others can´t source a large amount of current to loads like motors, relays and lamps. They also can´t work with signals sourced by some types of sensors plugged to their inputs. In these cases they need special ads, circuits to allow the use of power loads and sensor. These circuits are called shields. This book is a collection of 100 circuits of shields including drive to high current loads, motors, sensor, to produce audio signals and much more.

This book aims to develop professional and practical microcontroller applications in the ARM-MDK environment with Texas Instruments MSP432P401R LaunchPad kits.

Microprocessors and their microcontroller derivatives are a ubiquitous, if rather invisible, part of the infrastructure of our 21st century electronic 1 and communications society. In 1998 it was reckoned that hidden in ev­ ery home were about 100 microcontrollers and microprocessors; in the sillging birthday card, washing machine, microwave oven, television con­ troller, telephone, personal computer and so on. About 20 more lurked in the average family car. For example monitoring in-tire radio pressure sensors and displaying critical data through the car area network (CAN). Around 4 billion such devices are sold each year to implement the intelligence of these smart electronic devices, ranging from smart egg timers through aircraft management systems. The evolution of the mi­ croprocessor from the firstIntel device introduced 30 years ago in 1971 has revolutionised the structure of society, effectively creating the sec­ ond smart industrial revolution coming to fruition at the beginning of the 21st century. Although the microprocessor is better known in its guise of powering the ubiquitous PC, in which raw computing power is the goal, sales of such microprocessors as the Intel Pentium, represent only around 2% of total volume. The vast majority of sales are of low-cost microcontrollers embedded into a dedicated-function digital electronic device, such as the smart card. Here the emphasis is the integration of the core processor with memory and input/output resources in the one chip. This integrated computing system is known as a microcontroller.

Mixed-Signal Embedded Microcontrollers are commonly used in integrating analog components needed to control non-digital electronic systems. They are used in automatically controlled devices and products, such as automobile engine control systems, wireless remote controllers, office machines, home appliances, power tools, and toys. Microcontrollers make it economical to digitally control even more devices and processes by reducing the size and cost, compared to a design that uses a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices. In many undergraduate and post-graduate courses, teaching of mixed-signal microcontrollers and their use for project work has become compulsory. Students face a lot of difficulties when they have to interface a microcontroller with the electronics they deal with. This book addresses some issues of interfacing the microcontrollers and describes some project implementations with the Silicon Lab C8051F020 mixed–signal microcontroller. The intended readers are college and university students specializing in electronics, computer systems engineering, electrical and electronics engineering; researchers involved with electronics based system, practitioners, technicians and in general anybody interested in microcontrollers based projects.

Despite this diversity, it is possible to find consistencies in the architecture of most microcontrollers. Microcontrollers: Fundamentals and Applications with PIC focuses on these common elements to describe the fundamentals of microcontroller design and programming. Using clear, concise language and a top-bottom approach, the book describes the parts that make up a microcontroller, how they work, and how they interact with each other. It also explains how to program medium-end PICs using assembler language.Examines analog as well as digital signalsThis volume describes the structure and resources of general microcontrollers as well as PIC microcontrollers, with a special focus on medium-end devices. The authors discuss memory organization and structure, and the assembler language used for programming medium-end PIC microcontrollers. They also explore how microcontrollers can acquire, process, and generate digital signals, explaining available techniques to deal with parallel input or output, peripherals, resources for real-time use, interrupts, and the specific characteristics of serial data interfaces in PIC microcontrollers. Finally, the book describes the acquisition and generation of analog signals either using resources inside the chip or by connecting peripheral circuits.Provides hands-on clarificationUsing practical examples and applications to supplement each topic, this volume provides the tools to thoroughly grasp the architecture and programming of microcontrollers. It avoids overly specific details so readers are quickly led toward design implementation. After mastering the material in this text, they will understand how to efficiently use PIC microcontrollers in a design process.

Second in the series, Practical Aspects of Embedded System Design using Microcontrollers emphasizes the same philosophy of “Learning by Doing” and “Hands on Approach” with the application oriented case studies developed around the PIC16F877 and AT 89S52, today's most popular microcontrollers. Readers with an academic and theoretical understanding of embedded microcontroller systems are introduced to the practical and industry oriented Embedded System design. When kick starting a project in the laboratory a reader will be able to benefit experimenting with the ready made designs and ‘C'programs. One can also go about carving a big dream project by treating the designs and programs presented in this book as building blocks. Practical Aspects of Embedded System Design using Microcontrollers is yet another valuable addition and guides the developers to achieve shorter product development times with the use of microcontrollers in the days of increased software complexity. Going through the text and experimenting with the programs in a laboratory will definitely empower the potential reader, having more or less programming or electronics experience, to build embedded systems using microcontrollers around the home, office, store, etc. Practical Aspects of Embedded System Design using Microcontrollers will serve as a good reference for the academic community as well as industry professionals and overcome the fear of the newbies in this field of immense global importance.
