INTRODUCTION TO

EMBEDDED SYSTEM
1.1 Understand the concept of
embedded system
1.1.1 Describe the meaning of embedded system
1.1.2 Explain microcontroller as the heart of
embedded system
1.1.3 Relate embedded system examples with
real life application
1.1.4 Differentiate Microcontroller and
microprocessor
1.1.5 Discuss the advantages of microcontroller
application
1.1.1 Describe the meaning of
embedded system
Embedded System:-
An embedded system is a system
that has software embedded into
computer-hardware, which makes a
system dedicated for an
application(s) or specific part of an
application or product or part of a
larger system.
An embedded system is one that
has a dedicated purpose software
embedded in a computer hardware
[Chapter-1 L01: "Embedded Systems - " , Raj Kamal, Pubs.: McGraw-Hill Education ] Slide 3
1.1.1 Describe the meaning of
embedded system
Embedded System:-
It is a dedicated computer based
system for an application(s) or
product. It may be an independent
system or a part of large system. Its
software usually embeds into a ROM
(Read Only Memory) or flash.

1.1.1 Describe the meaning of
embedded system
Embedded System:-
Embedded Systems are the electronic systems
that contain a microprocessor or a
microcontroller, but we do not think of them as
computers– the computer is hidden or embedded
in the system. -Todd D. Morton

[Chapter-1 L01: "Embedded Systems - " , Raj Kamal, Pubs.: McGraw-Hill Education ] Slide 5
1.1.2 Explain microcontroller as the
heart of embedded system
• Microcontroller is an IC chip that takes
input process data according to program
written in its memory and gives output
as control signal for controlling other
machines and devices.

Slide 6
1.1.2 Explain microcontroller as the
heart of embedded system
• A microcontroller (sometimes
abbreviated µC, uC or MCU) is a small
computer on a single integrated circuit
containing a processor core, memory,
and programmable input/output
peripherals.

Slide 7
1.1.3 Relate embedded system
examples with real life application
• In today's world of technology, we found
Microcontrollers in almost every
electronic device we uses. Almost all
general purpose devices such as Digital
Watches, Washing Machines, CD/DVD
Players, Mobile Phones and Microwave
Ovens works on the bases of
Microcontroller.

1.1.3 Relate embedded system
examples with real life application

Slide 9
1.1.4 Differentiate Microcontroller and
microprocessor

Slide 10
1.1.4 Differentiate Microcontroller and
microprocessor
Microprocessor :
 Microprocessor is the heart of any
processing device. Its a basic building
block of modern processors and
controllers.
 Its a register based multi-purpose
electronics device which takes input from
us, process that input data according to
the program written in external memory
and gives us useful results. Slide 11
1.1.4 Differentiate Microcontroller and
microprocessor
Microprocessor :
 This device is only consists of processing
unit, that is Memory and I/O devices are
need to be connected externally.
 As it requires external memory and I/O
devices so it requires large space and is
larger in size. It is of no use without
interfacing with external memory and
I/O ports.
Slide 12
1.1.4 Differentiate Microcontroller and
microprocessor
Microcontroller :
 Microcontroller is also like a
Microprocessor except that a
Microcontroller made by
Integrating Memory and I/O ports
on a single chip.
 It doesn't requires external ROM,
I/O ports for its operation. As
memory such as ROM/RAM is
integrated on a single IC chip,
thus it is small in size.
Slide 13
1.1.4 Differentiate Microcontroller and
microprocessor
Microcontroller :
 It is basically used for controlling various
machines. Programming of both
Microcontroller And Microprocessor is
almost similar.

1.1.4 Differentiate Microcontroller and
microprocessor

Slide 15
Slide 16
1.1.5 Discuss the advantages of
microcontroller application
Some of the benefits are based tools
microcontroller:
 High reliability and high degree of integration;
 Reduction in size;
 Reduced component count and
manufacturing cost owner;
 Shorter development time;
 Shorter time to market;
 Lower power consumptions.
