Embedded Systems

Embedded systems are combinations of hardware and software designed to perform specific tasks. They are found in many devices like mobile phones, cars, aeroplanes, watches and more. An embedded system has an embedded processor at its core which can be a microprocessor or microcontroller. Microcontrollers have more peripherals integrated on the chip, reducing size and cost. Real-time embedded systems must complete tasks within a defined time period. Embedded systems have grown significantly and contribute to economic growth across industries like industrial, medical, military and more.

It is clear that mobile phone is a complex device housing a


number of functions.
The variation of these functionalities can only be achieved by a
very flexible device.

This flexible device is known as EMBEDDED PROCESSOR and


the MOBILE PHONE housing the functions is known as
EMBEDDED SYSTEM.

What is an EMBEDDED SYSTEM?

A combination of hardware and software which together form a

component of a larger machine.


An embedded system performs pre-defined tasks, usually with
very specific requirements.
Since the system is dedicated to a specific task, design
engineers can optimize it, reducing the size and cost of the
product.

A Software programmer writes code that


utilize hardware and Hardware engineer
design hardware to assist programmer .
Hence, both the software and the hardware
components are co-designed.

REAL TIME SYSTEMS

An operation within a larger dynamic system is called a real-time


operation if the combined reaction- and operation-time of a task is no
longer than the maximum delay allowed.
Embedded systems working on this concept are called
TIME EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.
Not all embedded systems work on this concept.

PROCESSORS IN EMBEDDED SYSTEMS


Processor is the heart of an embedded system.
CLASSIFICATIO
N

MICROPROCESSOR (P)
They use separate integrated
circuits for memory and
peripherals of the system.

MICROCONTROLLER (C)
They have many more peripherals
on chip, reducing power
consumption, size and cost.

Numerous microcontrollers have been developed for


embedded systems use. General-purpose microprocessors are
also used in embedded systems, but generally require more
support circuitry than microcontrollers.
The first microprocessor INTEL 4004, was designed for
calculators and other small systems but still required many
external memory and support chips.
By the mid-1980s, most of the common previously external
system components had been integrated into the same chip as
the processor which formed the microcontroller and it allowed
even more widespread use of embedded systems in various
fields.

The embedded systems application took a wide increase in the many


fields and also added to the economical growth of the nations
