From operating our cars, managing our smart phones, cleaning our homes, or cooking our meals, the special computers we call embedded systems are quietly and unobtrusively making our lives easier, safer, and more connected. While working in increasingly challenging environments, embedded systems give us the ability to put increasing amounts of capability into ever-smaller and more powerful devices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmbedded Systems: A Contemporary Design Tool, Second Edition \u003c\/i\u003eintroduces you to the theoretical hardware and software foundations of these systems and expands into the areas of signal integrity, system security, low power, and hardware-software co-design. The text builds upon earlier material to show you how to apply reliable, robust solutions to a wide range of applications operating in today�s often challenging environments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaking the users problem and needs as your starting point, you will explore each of the key theoretical and practical issues to consider when designing an application in todays world.
