• Builds a solid foundation in the theory and application of mechatronic systems
• Discusses a variety of electromechanical transducers, power- and micro-electronics, integrated circuits, microcontrollers, and other advanced hardware components
• Includes many worked-out examples that help prepare readers to use the results presented
• Uses MATLAB to illustrate results and examples with models readers can extend to solve and prototype other systems

A unique combination of traditional engineering topics and the latest technologies, this book ensures a solid understanding of the engineering underpinnings of integrated technologies and demonstrates the power and versatility of modern electromechanical engineering-mechatronics. With emphasis on modeling, simulation, analysis, design, and implementation of high-performance mini-and microscale electromechanical systems, it develops the rigorous theory, demonstrates the application of theoretical results, and covers emerging software and hardware. The authors use MATLAB to illustrate practical examples and help readers master this powerful, industry-standard software.
