About Book:

Embedded Systems serves as a textbook and start-up book for undergraduate and postgraduate computer science, information technology, electronics and communication engineering and software-training institution students, and embedded-system-design professionals. It is written in an easy-to-understand and student-friendly manner, and includes several illustrative figures and examples, sample codes and system-design case studies.

          Embedded system design needs a team of hardware as well software professionals. The book explains both hardware and software concepts, while keeping multidisciplinary UGs and PGs in as primary readers. The earlier two editions appear to have met this task successfully for UGs and PGs in the areas of Electronics, Computer Science and Engineering on one hand, and for training software and hardware professionals and designers of Embedded Systems on the other hand. Academia, as well industry in the fields such as VLSI and System-on-Chip Technology, Automobile and Vehicular Technology, Medical-electronics and Robotics, also found the book valuable for study by start-ups in design and research areas.

         Response to earlier editions in India as well as abroad has been tremendous. A rough estimate is that 16, 00, 00 engineering and professional training students, and software and hardware professionals became first-time readers of this book in India alone in the last decade. Originally published in India. The book has now McGraw-Hill team translations published in China and South Korea, International Students’ edition and McGraw-Hill USA editions published from Singapore and New York.
