Automotive Electronics Design Fundamentals

This book explains the topology behind automotive electronics architecturesand examines how theycan beprofoundly augmented with embedded controllers. These controllers serve as the core building blocks of today's vehicle electronics.Rather than simply teachingelectrical basics, this unique resource focuses on thefundamental concepts of vehicle electronics architecture, and details the wide variety of Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) that enable the increasingly sophisticated "bells & whistles" of modern designs. A must-havefor automotive design engineers,technicians working in automotive electronics repair centers andstudentstaking automotive electronicscourses, this guide bridges the gap between academic instructionand industry practice with clear, concise advice on how to design andoptimize automotive electronics with embedded controllers.
