INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEMS: EMBEDDED SYSTEMS:

An embedded system is a specialized computer system that is housed in a large system in order to carry out certain specific applications. Some embedded systems include operating systems and most are so specialized such that the entire logic can be implemented as a single program.

APPLICATIONS OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS:

Industrial machines Automobiles Medical equipment Cameras Household appliances Airplanes Vending machines Toys etc

Power Supply

Power supply is a reference to a source of electrical power. A device or system that supplies electrical or other types of energy to an output load or group of loads is called a power supply unit or PSU. The term is most commonly applied to electrical energy supplies, less often to mechanical ones, and rarely to others

This power supply section is required to convert AC signal to DC signal and also to reduce the amplitude of the signal. The available voltage signal from the mains is 230V/50Hz which is an AC voltage, but the required is DC voltage(no frequency) with the amplitude of +5V and +12V for various applications.

In this section we have Transformer, Bridge rectifier, are connected serially and voltage regulators for +5V and +12V (7805 and 7812) via a capacitor (1000F) in parallel are connected parallel as shown in the circuit diagram below. Each voltage regulator output is again is connected to the capacitors of values (100F, 10F, 1 F, 0.1 F) are connected parallel through which the corresponding output(+5V or +12V) are taken into consideration.

Bridge Rectifier A diode bridge or bridge rectifier is an arrangement of four diodes in a bridge configuration that provides the same polarity of output voltage for any polarity of input voltage. When used in its most common application, for conversion of alternating current (AC) input into direct current (DC) output, it is known as a bridge rectifier. A bridge rectifier provides full-wave rectification from a two-wire AC input, resulting in lower cost and weight as compared to a center-tapped transformer design, but has two diode drops rather than one, thus exhibiting reduced efficiency over a center-tapped design for the same output voltage. When the input connected at the left corner of the diamond is positive with respect to the one connected at the right hand corner, current flows to the right along the upper colored path to the output, and returns to the input supply via the lower one.

When the right hand corner is positive relative to the left hand corner, current flows along the upper colored path and returns to the supply via the lower colored path.

In each case, the upper right output remains positive with respect to the lower right one. Since this is true whether the input is AC or DC, this circuit not only produces DC power when supplied with AC power: it also can provide what is sometimes called "reverse polarity protection". That is, it permits normal functioning when batteries are installed backwards or DC input-power supply wiring "has its wires crossed" (and protects the circuitry it powers against damage that might occur without this circuit in place). Prior to availability of integrated electronics, such a bridge rectifier was always constructed from discrete components. Since about 1950, a single four-terminal component containing the four diodes connected in the bridge configuration became a standard commercial component and is now available with various voltage and current ratings.

Output smoothing (Using Capacitor) For many applications, especially with single phase AC where the full-wave bridge serves to convert an AC input into a DC output, the addition of a capacitor may be important because the bridge alone supplies an output voltage of fixed polarity but pulsating magnitude (see diagram above).

LINEAR REGULATOR

In electronics, a linear regulator is a component used to maintain a steady voltage. The resistance of the regulator varies in accordance with the load resulting in a constant output voltage. In contrast, the switching regulator is nothing more than just a simple switch. This switch goes on and off at a fixed rate usually between 50 kHz to 100 kHz as set by the circuit. The regulating device is made to act like a variable resistor, continuously adjusting a voltage divider network to maintain a constant output voltage. The primary advantage of a switching regulator over linear regulator [1] is very high efficiency, a lot less heat and smaller size.

BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE MICROCONTROLLER:

DESCRIPTION OF BLOCK DIAGRAM:

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU):The microcontroller consists of 8 bit ALU with

associated registers like register A, register B, Program status word(PSW),Stack pointer(SP) ,a 16 bit program counter(PC) and a 16 bit data pointer register(DTPR).

ARITHMETIC LOGIC UNIT (ALU):

The ALU performs arithmetic and logic functions

on 8 bit variables. An important and unique feature of the microcontroller architecture is that the ALU can manipulate 1 bit as well as 8 bit data types. It performs the Operations over the operands held by the temporary registers TMP1 and TMP2.The temporary registers cannot be accessed by the user.

ACCUMULATOR (ACC):

It is referred to as register A or Acc. It is an 8 bit register. It holds

the source operand and stores the result of arithmetic operations. It is used as the source or destination register for logical operations. It is either explicitly or implicitly specified in the instructions.

BREGISTER:

It is a special function register. It can be used to store one of the operands in

multiply and divide instructions. For all other instructions it is used as a scratch pad.

PROGRAM STATUS WORD (PSW):

It is one of the special function registers .It is an 8

bit register. It is a set of Flags that indicate the status of the microcontroller.

CY AC FO RS1 RS0 OV -CARRY BIT (CY):

This bit holds the carry bit in case of arithmetic operations. It also serves the

purpose of accumulator in case of Boolean operations. It is set to one when there is a carry out from the D7 bit. It can also be rest or cleared through instructions.

AUXILLARY CARRY (AC):

It is used in BCD operations usually. This bit is raised when a

carry occurs from lower nibble to the higher nibble during arithmetic operations on BCD numbers.

FLAG 0 (F0): Flag 0 is available to the user for general purpose. REGISTER SELECT BITS (RS1 AND RS0): The two bits RS1 and RS0 are used to
select one of the four available register banks. As below:

OVERFLOW FLAG (OF):

The overflow flag was created specifically for the purpose of

informing the programmer that the result of the signed number operation is erroneous. If the result of an operation on signed numbers is too big for a register, an overflow has occurred and the programmer must be notified.

PARITY (P):

The parity bit reflects the number of 1s in the accumulator. P=0 implies that

accumulator contains an even number of 1s. P=1 implies that the accumulator contains odd number of 1s.D1 bit is a user definable flag and is reserved for future use.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTER BANK (SFR):

range 80H-FFH.

It is a set of special function

registers that can be addressed using their respective addresses allotted to them. The addresses lie in the

INPUT-OUTPUT (I/O) PORTS (P0-P3):

These four latches-drivers pairs have been

allotted to the four parallel I/O ports. These latches have been allotted addresses in the special function register bank. Using these allotted addresses, the user can communicate with the ports.

BUFFER: It is a special function register and consists of two registers namely transmit buffer and the
receive buffer. The transmit buffer receives data parallely and transmits serially. The receive buffer on the other hand is serial in parallel out register.

TIMING AND CONTROL UNIT:

It derives the timing and control information required for

the internal operation of the circuit and the control information required for controlling the external bus.

OSCILLATOR:

It generates the basic timing clock signal required for the operation of the circuit

using a crystal oscillator connected externally.

PIN DESCRIPTION OF AT89S52 VCC (PIN 40):- Supply voltage. GND (PIN 20):- Ground. Port 0 (PIN 32-39), Port 1 (PIN 1-8), Port 2 (PIN 21-28), Port 3 (PIN 10-17). RST (PIN 9):-Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running
resets the device. This pin drives high for 98 oscillator periods after the Watchdog times out. The DISRTO bit in SFR AUXR (address 8EH) can be used to disable this feature. In the default state of bit DISRTO, the RESET HIGH out feature is enabled.

ALE/PROG (PIN 30):-

Address Latch Enable (ALE) is an output pulse for latching the low byte

of the address during accesses to external memory. This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during Flash programming. In normal operation, ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the oscillator frequency and may be used for external timing or clocking purposes. If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0 of SFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only during a MOVX or

MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no effect if the microcontroller is in external execution mode.

PSEN (PIN 29):- Program Store Enable (PSEN) is the read strobe to external program memory.
When the AT89S52 is executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice each machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to exter-nal data memory.

EA/VPP (PIN 31):-

External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the

device to fetch code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH. Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset. EA should be strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin also receives the 12-volt programming enable voltage (VPP) during Flash programming.

XTAL1 (PIN 19):operating circuit.

Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock

XTAL2 (PIN 18):- Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.

The transmitter operates from a 1.5-12V supply, making it ideal for battery-powered applications. The transmitter employs a SAW-stabilized oscillator, ensuring accurate frequency control for best range performance.

The antenna port impedance affects output power and harmonic emissions. An L-C low-pass filter may be needed to sufficiently filter harmonic emissions. Antenna can be single core wire of approximately 17cm length or PCB trace antenna. VCC Operating voltage for the transmitter. VCC should be bypassed with a .01uF ceramic capacitor and filtered with a 4.7uF tantalum capacitor. Noise on the power supply will degrade transmitter noise performance. DATA Digital data input. This input is CMOS compatible and should be driven with CMOS level inputs. GND Transmitter ground. Connect to ground plane. Data Rate:-The oscillator start-up time is on the order of 40uSec, which limits the maximum data rate to 4.8 kbit/sec. SAW stabilized oscillator:-The transmitter is basically a negative resistance LC oscillator whose center frequency is tightly controlled by a SAW resonator. SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) resonators are fundamental frequency devices that resonate at frequencies much higher than crystals. 433 MHz RF Receiver STR-433:- The STR-433 is ideal for short-range remote control applications where cost is a primary concern. The receiver module requires no external RF components except for the antenna. It generates virtually no emissions, making FCC and ETSI approvals easy. The superregenerative design exhibits exceptional sensitivity at a very low cost. The manufacturing-friendly SIP style package and low-cost make the STR-433 suitable for high volume application. Features:- (low Cost, 5V operation, 3.5mA current drain, No External Parts are required, Receiver Frequency: 433.92 MHZ, Typical sensitivity: -105dBm, IF Frequency: 1MHz

Receiver Applications:- ( Car security system, Sensor reporting, Automation system, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Remote Lighting Controls, On-Site Paging, Asset Tracking, Wireless Alarm and Security Systems, Long Range RFID, Automated Resource Management Super-Regenerative AM Detection:The STR-433 uses a super-regenerative AM detector to demodulate the incoming AM carrier. A super regenerative detector is a gain stage with positive feedback greater than unity so that it oscillates. An RC-time constant is included in the gain stage so that when the gain stage oscillates, the gain will be lowered over time proportional to the RC time constant until the oscillation eventually dies. Power Supply:- (The STR-433 is designed to operate from a 5V power supply. It is crucial that this power supply be very quiet. The power supply should be bypassed using a 0.1uF low-ESR ceramic capacitor and a 4.7uF tantalum capacitor. These capacitors should be placed as close to the power pins as possible. The STR-433 is designed for continuous duty operation. From the time power is applied, it can take up to 750mSec for the data output to become valid.) Antenna Input:- (It will support most antenna types, including printed antennas integrated directly onto the PCB and simple single core wire of about 17cm. The performance of the different antennas varies. Any time a trace is longer than 1/8th the wavelength of the frequency it is carrying, it should be a 50 ohm microstrip.)
