Designing embedded systems with 32-bit PIC microcontrollers and MikroC /
No full textThe new generation of 32-bit PIC microcontrollers can be used to solve the increasingly complex embedded system design challenges faced by engineers today. This book teaches the basics of 32-bit C programming, including an introduction to the PIC 32-bit C compiler. It includes a full description of the architecture of 32-bit PICs and their applications, along with coverage of the relevant development and debugging tools. Through a series of fully realized example projects, Dogan Ibrahim demonstrates how engineers can harness the power of this new technology to optimize their embedded design.Online resource; title from PDF title page (ebrary, viewed September 16, 2013).Front Cover; Designing Embedded Systems with 32-Bit PIC Microcontrollers and MikroC; Copyright; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; Chapter 1 -- Microcomputer Systems; 1.1 Introduction; 1.2 Microcontroller Systems; 1.3 Microcontroller Features; 1.4 Microcontroller Architectures; 1.5 8, 16, or 32Bits?; 1.6 Number Systems; 1.7 Converting Binary Numbers into Decimal; 1.8 Converting Decimal Numbers into Binary; 1.9 Converting Binary Numbers into Hexadecimal; 1.10 Converting Hexadecimal Numbers into Binary; 1.11 Converting Hexadecimal Numbers into Decimal.1.12 Converting Decimal Numbers into Hexadecimal1.13 Converting Octal Numbers into Decimal; 1.14 Converting Decimal Numbers into Octal; 1.15 Converting Octal Numbers into Binary; 1.16 Converting Binary Numbers into Octal; 1.17 Negative Numbers; 1.18 Adding Binary Numbers; 1.19 Subtracting Binary Numbers; 1.20 Multiplication of Binary Numbers; 1.21 Division of Binary Numbers; 1.22 Floating Point Numbers; 1.23 Converting a Floating Point Number into Decimal; 1.24 Binary Coded Decimal Numbers; 1.25 The American Standard Code for Information Interchange Table; 1.26 Summary; 1.27 Exercises.Chapter 2 -- PIC32 Microcontroller Series2.1 The PIC32MX360F512L Architecture; 2.2 Summary; 2.3 Exercises; Chapter 3 -- C Programming for 32-Bit PIC Microcontrollers; 3.1 Structure of a Simple mikroC Pro for PIC32 Program; 3.2 Functions; 3.3 PIC32 Microcontroller Specific Features; 3.4 Summary; 3.5 Exercises; Chapter 4 -- mikroC Pro for PIC32 Built-in Library Functions; 4.1 ADC Library; 4.2 LCD Library; 4.3 Software UART Library; 4.4 Hardware UART Library; 4.5 Sound Library; 4.6 ANSI C Library; 4.7 Miscellaneous Library; 4.8 Summary; 4.9 Exercises.Chapter 5 -- PIC32 Microcontroller Development Tools5.1 Software Development Tools; 5.2 Hardware Development Tools; 5.3 mikroC Pro for PIC32 IDE; 5.4 Summary; 5.5 Exercises; Chapter 6 -- Microcontroller Program Development; 6.1 Using the Program Description Language and Flowcharts; 6.2 Examples; 6.3 Representing for Loops in Flowcharts; 6.4 Summary; 6.5 Exercises; Chapter 7 -- Simple PIC32 Microcontroller Projects; 7.1 Project 7.1-LED DICE; 7.2 Project 7.2-Liquid-Crystal Display Event Counting; 7.3 Project 7.3-Creating a Custom LCD Character; 7.4 Project 7.4-LCD Progress Bar.7.5 Project 7.5-Shifting Text on LCD7.6 Project 7.6-External Interrupt-Based Event Counting Using LCD; 7.7 Project 7.7-Switch Contact Debouncing; 7.8 Project 7.8-Timer Interrupt-Based Counting; 7.9 Project 7.9-Temperature Measurement and Display on LCD; 7.10 Project 7.10-Playing a Melody; 7.11 Project 7.11-Playing a Melody Using Push-Button Switches; 7.12 Project 7.12-Generating Sine Wave Using D/A Converter; 7.13 Project 7.13-Communicating with a PC Using the RS232 PORT; 7.14 Project 7.14-Scrolling LCD Display; Chapter 8 -- Advanced PIC32 Projects.The new generation of 32-bit PIC microcontrollers can be used to solve the increasingly complex embedded system design challenges faced by engineers today.

Sorting without exchanges on a bit-serial systolic array
No full textThe author considers, a number of bit-serial systolic designs for ordering a list of n elements without 'on-the-fly' exchanges are considered. The algorithms require 4n+p+k bit steps where p=log2 n and k is the number of bits required to encode all the possible elements. The arrays require O(n(p+k)) bit cells with a complexity roughly the same as that of a full adder and between max (p,k) and p+k input/output pins. The input to the array is the list to be sorted and an auxiliary vector whose elements have bit length p. The output is the list itself and the auxiliary vector, which is updated to produce pointers to the correct position of each element in the ordered list

A 6.3 μW 20 bit Incremental Zoom-ADC with 6 ppm INL and 1 μV Offset
No full textA 20-bit incremental ADC for battery-powered sensor applications is presented. It is based on an energy-efficient zoom ADC architecture, which employs a coarse 6-bit SAR conversion followed by a fine 15-bit ΔΣ conversion. To further improve its energy efficiency, the ADC employs integrators based on cascoded dynamic inverters for extra gain and PVT tolerance. Dynamic error correction techniques such as auto-zeroing, chopping and dynamic element matching are used to achieve both low offset and high linearity. Measurements show that the ADC achieves 20-bit resolution, 6 ppm INL and 1 μV offset in a conversion timeof 40 ms, while drawing only 3.5 μA current from a 1.8 V supply. This corresponds to a state-of-the-art figure-of-merit (FoM) of 182.7 dB. The 0.35 mm² chip was fabricated in a standard 0.16 μm CMOS process.Accepted Author ManuscriptElectronic Instrumentatio
Do the European Union's bilateral investment treaties matter? The way forward after Lisbon. CEPS Working Document No. 333, July 2010
No full textThis working paper addresses a number of policy-relevant issues regarding the EU’s bilateral investment treaties (BITS), namely, whether the EU’s BITs have a significantly positive impact on outflows; and which member states and which BIT partners have had a significant experience after the implementation of the BIT. The author finds that both OECD BITs and EU BITs have a statistically significant and positive impact on FDI outflows. This result is robust to the inclusion of variables such as privatisation proceeds that control for the level of economic reform, the level of trade linkages, the level of democratic freedom and a measure of risk of expropriation among other standard controls. A number of policy implications of these findings are also considered
