Automotive Electronics Design Fundamentals Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2015 Edition

I feel a bit jipped to be honest. Ive been in the automotive industry over ten years now. This book seems to have been written and grammar checked by maybe, a 12 year old. I quote “ if the actual fault has been disappeared over a certain period of time...” the word is erased, or archived. Not “disappeared”. Ive found tons of grammar errors and Im only on page 33. Your money will be better spent on the Bosch books. At least they actually have built many of the systems they talk about.

This book is aimed at the working professional engineer rather than the novice. The ideal audience would include engineers who have been working in other fields and are now considering a career in automotive, or engineers who are already in one particular automotive electronics specialty but wishing to explore other subsystems. Accordingly, this book provides a comprehensive overview of every vehicle subsystem. It also goes beyond the theoretical to actual case studies of specific vehicles. And the last section of the book is all about Electromagnetic Compliance, which has become a seemingly never-ending battle given the rapid proliferation of sophisticated digital signal processing and telecommunications in our interconnected world.

It is the opinion of this reviewer that the book, as the title suggests, is a book on vehicular electronics design fundamentals, and is an excellent book from that perspective. The book seems more valuable for a somewhat advanced level vehicular electronics class (undergraduate or graduate) rather than for a basic course on the subject involving fundamental principles and theory, which is understandable. The book encompasses the automotive electronics modular electronics partitioning. The first chapter introduces the electronics architecture with interesting contents. The reader may find the material somewhat intriguing and hopefully will keep on reading as interest grows with each step at every sentence, paragraph or page. Chapter One finishes with a real world survey of a Nissan Quest minivan modular architecture. Chapter Two delves into a typical electronics module, and is an excellent example of good engineering understanding of each essential block. Chapter three goes further deep down for each essential block, so that the reader can grasp the basic design criterion. Chapter Four introduces a very basic understanding of software modes that are essential for the vehicle battery conservation. Chapter Five goes into the real life design of the fundamental block by utilizing OrCAD/PSpice, and TINA simulation software, which is very helpful for academia and industry to understand how the tools are used to crank out the correct design right before it gets incorrect. Chapter Six deals with a glowing example of Lincoln MKC vehicle electronics module overview, CAN bus architecture - really a good introduction of bells & whistles of a modern car. Last chapter introduces the basics of an electromagnetic compliance of a module, and vehicle, and shows how different types of testing are conducted to comply to EMC issues in a radio energy universe. This reviewer believes that it would have been nice if the author included a chapter or two pertaining to electric and hybrid vehicles and also power electronics, since those are now getting more popular nowadays. But given the relatively small size of this book, it is the belief of this reviewer that the author has done an excellent job which also provides the real life experience of the author himself who is from the industry.Dr.Abul MasrurAdjunct Professor - Vehicle ElectronicsUniversity of Michigan - Dearborn CampusMichigan,United States of America

This is a fantastic books for automotive electrical engineers. Valuable information can be found in this book. Beautifully explained and depicted thru drawings and inserts where appropriate. Author eloquently and with simplicity presented his thoughts and knowledge in this book. This can be used as text book or as reference book . Many college graduates lack of automotive electrical/electronics aspect in their education. This book will open up their door in automotive electrical/electronics area. I recommend this book for any electrical engineer, working or interested to work in automotive electoral/electronics field.

Wonder full books for student for good understanding Automotive electronics . I recommend this for all automotive electronics design engineers as best basic design book available.

This is an excellent book for teaching. Could not find a better book for my purposes in teaching!!!
