All the design and development inspiration and direction an electronics engineer needs in one blockbuster book! John Donovan, Editor-in Chief, Portable Design has selected the very best electronic design material from the Newnes portfolio and has compiled it into this volume. The result is a book covering the gamut of electronic design from design fundamentals to low-power approaches with a strong pragmatic emphasis. In addition to specific design techniques and practices, this book also discusses various approaches to solving electronic design problems and how to successfully apply theory to actual design tasks. The material has been selected for its timelessness as well as for its relevance to contemporary electronic design issues. Contents:Chapter 1 System Resource Partitioning and Code OptimizationChapter 2 Low Power Design Techniques, Design Methodology, and ToolsChapter 3 System-Level Approach to Energy ConservationChapter 4 Radio Communication BasicsChapter 5 Applications and TechnologiesChapter 6 RF Design ToolsChapter 7 On Memory Systems and Their DesignChapter 8 Storage in Mobile Consumer Electronics DevicesChapter 9 Analog Low-Pass FiltersChapter 10 Class A AmplifiersChapter 11 MPEG-4 and H.264Chapter 12 Liquid Crystal Displays
