Analog and Digital Circuits for Electronic Control System Applications: Using the TI MSP430 Microcontroller

Customer Reviews:

Introductory electronics text, lacks real MSP430 instruction.

By Philip J. Taylor "philiptaylor2" - January 4, 2006

I've worked through this book thoroughly after purchasing it thru Amazon.

It is an elementary electronics text that is somehow quite dense. It serves as a somewhat abstract text on a lot of basic electronics circuits. It has the feel of a boilerplate electronics course -- things that seem to be cut and pasted out of other electronics textbooks. So for this, the information it useful, but I already have several textbooks that are both more thorough and more expertly and clearly written.

Texas Instruments (TI) recommends this book as the best reference guide to using their MSP430 microcontrollers. Unfortunately, all of the info included in this book is available online, excepting a very simple example project--a digital thermometer.

Caution: NO LINUX.

The book describes using the MSP430 only with a proprietary programming system--and at that the information on this proprietary system is actually out of date. It has been replaced with... read more

Too simplistic: 2 stars for EEs, 4-5 stars for embedded newbies

By J. LaCoss "Shikantaza" - January 9, 2007

Ever used an A-to-D? Ever programmed in assembly language? Yeah? BING! You're well past the audience this book is written for.

The format is OK, the material is clear, but I thought I was a-gonna get a book with design tricks and software that I could USE. There really isn't much of value here for the experienced designer/programmer. Oh well - I'll have to keep hunting.

If you've never built any hardware, then maybe this really IS the book for you! Well, you best read the basic electronics stuff pretty carefully. Also, I'd go get a Texas Instruments eZ430-F2013 Development Tool for 20 bucks and save the kludge-together part of the exercise: you can get up and running faster with something that actually works right outa da box, plus it comes with basic software tools.

By Nader Elsrouji "Abu Rabie" - June 18, 2009

I've been facing some difficulty in physics related to electronic feild,
this book clarified a lot of the electronic materials and though I'm enjoying Physics and Math more than before. I suggest this book for students in high school as well as students at university studies.
