A Practical Guide to Low Power Design 2008-04-27 21:49:04 Description: This free 168 page text published by PowerForward.org discusses the design of low power ICs with an emphasis on the use of the Common Power Format (CPF).
Phase Noise: Theory versus Practicality 2008-04-27 21:29:08 Description: This article from the April 2008 issue of Microwave Journal "discusses different time bases and their properties, crystal oscillator properties, phase noise definition and calculations, ways to reduce phase noise in oscillator design, real oscillator phase noise plots, and outside noise/interference effects on phase noise. It will be shown that phase noise is unavoidable but manageable."
Open Verification Methodology 2008-03-11 20:08:09 Description: Mentor Graphics and Cadence Design Systems collaborated on the "Open Verification Methodology", which they have now offered up for public consumption. The OVM website states "The OVM is based on the IEEE 1800 SystemVerilog standard and supports design and verification engineers developing advanced verification environments that offer higher levels of integration and portability of Verification IP. The methodology is non-vendor specific and is interoperable with multiple languages and simulators. The OVM is fully open, and includes a robust class library and source code that is available for download."
Understanding the LIN PHY layer 2008-03-11 19:45:38 Description: If you know how to use a basic UART, but can only go "Duh" when the subject of LIN communications comes up, then take a 5 minute coffee break and read this quick and dirty introduction to LIN communications. It will help you to bridge the gap.
Quadrature Encoding Explained 2008-03-08 17:52:13 Description: Quadrature encoding is a method for conveying speed and direction data encoded in only two signals. This EEHP tutorial shows how the signals might be generated, and how to interpret them.
BTC M850 Optical Mouse Teardown 2008-03-08 17:46:00 Description: At EEHP, we both do and read product teardowns for their educational value. This report looks at the inner workings of an optical mouse, providing both theory and implementation details.
Make Your Next Design As Solid As A Rock 2008-03-08 16:59:48 Description: If you need a quick introduction to crystal oscillators, this article is for you. Four pages of text and figures introduce you to the topic and discuss oscillator options and specifications you should know about.
Designing DSP-based motor control using fuzzy logic 2008-03-08 16:52:39 Description: This 7 page article from the March issue of Embedded Systems Design magazine introduces fuzzy logic in the context of designing a PID (proportional, integral and differential) controller for brushless DC motor applications.
Getting the Most From Your IR Camera 2008-01-13 13:13:37 Description: Originally published in the December 2007 edition of Evaluation Engineering Magazine, this brief (5 page) tutorial by David Bursell discusses five basic steps in creating radiometric and thermographic measurements with an IR camera system. It even gets into topics like "Ambient Drift Compensation", "Emissivity Corrections", field of view specifications, and more. A good read if you're interested in exploring the field.
Linear Methods of Applied Mathematics 2008-01-07 18:50:21 Description: "This is a WWW textbook written by Evans M. Harrell II and James V. Herod, both of Georgia Tech. It is suitable for a first course on partial differential equations, Fourier series and special functions, and integral equations."
Elementary Concepts in Statistics 2008-01-07 18:00:16 Description: This textbook by StatSoft is available as a free interactive web-site, as well as a traditional paper text. The StatSoft site says "This Electronic Statistics Textbook offers training in the understanding and application of statistics. The material was developed at the StatSoft R&D department based on many years of teaching undergraduate and graduate statistics courses and covers a wide variety of applications, including laboratory research (biomedical, agricultural, etc.), business statistics and forecasting, social science statistics and survey research, data mining, engineering and quality control applications, and many others."
Fundamentals of Modal Testing 2008-01-07 17:42:46 Description: The preface of this 56 page reference from Agilent reads "Modal analysis is defined as the study of the dynamic characteristics of a mechanical structure. This application note emphasizes experimental modal techniques, specifically the method known as frequency response function testing."
Tear Down Digest 2007-12-31 23:00:51 Description: "Tear Down Digest" is a joint venture of the IEEC electronics packaging consortium at Binghamton University and Prismark Partners LLC. This site contains teardown reports for a number of products, from radios to radar detectors to laptop computers.
Two Volume Set: Electromechanics & Electrical Machines and Systems 2007-12-14 16:26:52 Description: "Electromechanics" and "Electrical Machines and Systems" by J.D. Edwards are available for free download from the Infolytica web site. The author describes these as "course notes" for 1st and 2nd year courses. We would describe them as two brief (72 and 85 pages respectively), VERY well written, textbooks on Electromechanics. Material is densely packed, but well organized and clearly illustrated. Very well done Mr. Edwards!
Understanding the Linux Kernel 2007-11-25 15:15:00 Description: This O'Reilly text helps readers understand how Linux operates in different environments. It introduces each topic by explaining its importance, and shows how kernel operations relate to utilities that are familiar to Unix Programmers and users.
Java Network Programming 2007-11-24 11:47:25 Description: "There is very little application layer network software you can write in C or C++ that you can't write more easily in Java. Java Network Programming endeavors to show you how to take advantage of Java's network class library to quickly and easily write programs that accomplish many common networking tasks."
XML by Example 2007-11-24 11:37:28 Description: "XML by Example is intended for people with some basic HTML coding experience. If you can write a simple HTML page and if you know the main tags, you know enough HTML to understand this book."
Fundamentals of Engineering Supplied-Reference Handbook 2007-11-24 09:11:53 Description: Published by the NCEES, this free handbook will help you study for your professional engineer's exam.
Automating Manufacturing Systems with PLCs 2007-11-23 17:50:57 Description: This PLC based control system book is currently being used for teaching an undergraduate controls course on Manufacturing Controls. The book focuses on the Allen Bradley family of controllers, thus allowing a deeper topic coverage than is normal in PLC books.
