What is embedded system

• Any CPU based system other than general purpose

computers are referred as embedded Systems.

• Embedded Systems are specific purpose computers,

which performs a well defined single task.

3
 Why Embedded system

• There are Environments where the general purpose computers

system are not really getting into the act

For example:
AC has a temperature control sub-system
It is not viable to use a PC’s there for achieving task

4
Characteristics of Embedded system

• Designed to run a specific program all the time.

• There exist no second program to be loaded.
• OS is integrated with application.
• Constrains like memory , performance , throughput , response
time, size , cost etc..

5
 Applications of embedded system

• Telecommunication
Cable modem , LAN cards , Bridges , Routers , Gateways ,
Cell Base-station etc…

• Defence
RADAR Control , SONAR control , Mobile Radio , Missile
Launchers/ Trackers / Trappers , Guided mesiles , Aircraft
controls etc…

• Consumer Electronics
Washing machine , Microwave oven , Cell phone,Video
Game Player , Digital camera etc…

• ROBATICS
Pick-Place , CNC machine , Plotter , Printer , IC
Fabricator etc..

6
Continue…

• Wireless Communication
Mobile Phones , Software Defined Radio , PDA’s ,
Bluetooth devices , Wi-fi , Wi-max , etc….

• Hand held computers

Simputers , PDA’s

• Field Instrumentation
DVM , Hand held Oscilloscopes , Cable tester etc….

• Biomedical Systems
X-Ray control unit , ECG machine , Blood sampler , PMS,
etc…..

7
 EMBEDDED INDUSTRY

• Global Business Worth of $38b

• Employment opportunities worth 8500 embedded

engineers a year in India

•The Industry revenue should grow at the rate of

300% a year.
