Mechatronic Systems: Modelling and Simulation with HDLs

Georg Pelz9780470849798, 0-470-84979-7

* Covers the modelling and simulation of mechatronic and micromechatronic systems using HDLs. * Provides an overview of the design of digital and analog circuitry and software for mechatronic systems. * Presents practical guidance on both chip and systems design for a wide range of mechatronic applications. * Focuses on a practical approach to the design and simulation of electronic hardware and components of mechatronic systems.
