Embedded System: Fawad Humayun

Embedded systems are computer systems designed to perform dedicated functions within larger mechanical or electronic systems. They often contain a microcontroller rather than a general-purpose microprocessor. Microcontrollers have processors, memory, and input/output components integrated on a single chip to make the system compact and inexpensive. Embedded systems are found in devices like cameras, ATMs, automobiles, industrial robots, and more. An average person interacts with up to ten embedded systems every day.

What is Embedded System
• “A combination of computer hardware and software, and
perhaps additional mechanical or other parts, designed to
perform a dedicated function. In some cases, embedded
systems are part of a larger system or product, as in the case of
an antilock braking system in a car.”

Microprocessors
• Microprocessor is a heart of computer system.
• It is just a processor. I/O components are connected externally.
• Since I/O components has to be connected externally, the circuit
become large.
• Cost of entire circuit is increase.
• Most of the microprocessor do not have power saving features.
• Microprocessors have less no. of register's, hence more operations
are memory based.
• Mainly use in computer system.

Microcontrollers
• Microcontroller is a heart of Embedded system.
• It has processor along with internal memory and I/O components.
• Memory and I/O components are present internally, the circuit is
small.
• Cost of entire circuit is low.
• Most of the microcontroller have power saving modes. This helps to
reduce power consumptions.
• Microprocessors have more no. of registers, hence program are easy
to write.
• Mainly use in washing machine, mp3 etc.
