The last two decades have witnessed the overhauling growth in microelectronics and it has emerged as a major new technological force shaping our everyday lives. Apart from the ubiquitous penetration in the social life, the microelectronics is going though a paradigm shift from the VLSI to personal computers, mobile devices and finally converging to single-chip solutions embedded with the intelligence in both hardware and software form. It is undisputed fact that the System-on-a-chip (SoC) is revitalizing the design of integrated circuits due to the unprecedented levels of integration possible and has become the pervasive next generation revolution in microelectronics and Chip Design. The proliferation of ‘SoC’ have made most of the prognosticators to bet that it is going to sustain and thrive the accelerated growth in the semiconductor market. However, the designers are agonized about the resuscitation of the Moore’s law that has delivered consistently since about 1975, inspite of changing the design perceptions from transistors to IP cores, functional and structural diversification which is popularly known as “More than Moore”. In nutshell, the ‘Halcyon Days’ enjoyed by the VLSI industry are behind us and there is constant quest for development of affluent design methodologies for addressing the narrow market windows and accelerated obsolescence cycles that naturally impose reduced development times for the devices in the new era belonging to SoCs. Unleash the System On Chip using FPGAs and Handel C is an attempt to empower the design community by delivering the ‘know-how’ developed by the authors through their vast development experience in the areas of ‘VLSI Design’, Embedded Systems, ‘Hardware Software Co-Design’, ‘Reconfigurable System Design’ and ‘Network On Chip Design’. The book effectively showcases building the SoC from ‘Concept to Product’. With the founding conception that the future SoC designer is today’s software designer, the book laid emphasis on ‘C’ based methodology which is considered at a much higher level of abstraction. The emerging ‘hardware-software functional alloy’ perception of the SoCs is comprehended by leveraging the bottom up (i.e. design reuse) approach by edifying with the soft IP cores developed in Handel C which is also the pragmatic approach to bridge the gap between productivity, yield, quality, specifications (temporal and spatial), verification and prototyping. The hard design process of SoC is exemplified by a synergic approach of combining the flexibility and performance of FPGAs with the rich set of available soft IP cores developed in Handel C. More complex design approaches such as ‘partial reconfiguration’, ‘concurrent hardware software SoC realization’ are addressed by using the Xilinx EDK toolset. With the growing trend of SoC designer becoming the ‘network engineer’ and vice versa, few case studies have devoted towards building the ‘Network on Chip (NoC)’. System optimization and quick verification is dealt in this book by adopting co-simulation and third party tool integration such as ModelSim. Other diversified, still interesting SoC case studies that will definitely help the designers in building intelligent chips are fuzzy logic controllers, code converters, arithmetic on chip etc. Control system SoCs are realized in this book by using the Soft IP processor cores such as ‘picoblaze’. This will definitely open a window for the Embedded Developers pursuing their one chip design endeavors. The complicated concepts such as design flow with respect to the Handel C, EDK etc. are simplified by giving actual screenshots and step by step approach, so that a mere walk though them will give a “Hands-On’ approach. Finally through 35 working Handel C cores, seven chapters and 128 references chosen from the selected white papers, research papers and WEB URLs will definitely empower the SoC veteran as well as beginner in not only getting acquainted with the innovative design methodologies of building the SoCs, but also opens a new door of research and development and infinite set of futures in this ever-growing enabling technology of this century. .

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 in 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 value 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 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 newbie’s in this field of immense global importance.

The market is flooded with numbers of good books on Embedded Systems designed especially with the most popular MCS51 family. These books are traditional in nature i.e. they start with the routine architectural features of 8051, description of registers, ports, interrupts etc. Most of these things are already covered in the device data sheet and application notes. In this book all such routine things are skipped. The focus is on programming microcontrollers, to be specific MCS-51 family in ˜C' using Keil IDE. Exploring C for Microcontrollers presents seventeen live case studies apart from the many basic programs organized around every on-chip resource like port, time/counter, interrupt , serial I/O etc. Rather than introducing the underpinning theory or reproducing lengthy data sheets, our approach is "learning-through-doing" and one that appeals to busy electronics designers. The ˜C' codes given are well supported by easy to understand comments wherever required. Mastering the basic modules and hands on working with the projects will enable to grasp the basic building blocks for most 8051 programs. Whether you are a student using the MCS-51 family of microcontrollers for your project work or an embedded systems programmer, this is a book that will give you a kick-start in using and understanding the most popular microcontroller. Authors through their interaction with the undergraduate, postgraduate students as well as industry professionals have found that such a book is a need of the microcontroller community interested in C programming. The book will bridge the gap between the microcontroller hardware experts and the C programmers.
