Introduction to Embedded Systems in simpler way-Xplore IT Corp

What is Embedded…?

Embedded systems are nothing but the combination of hardware and the

software, in which the hardware parts consists of PCB as a Major component and the

basic electronic components such as Resistor, capacitor, Transistor, relays, etc.., as the

supporting components. We cannot produce some specific output with these

components that’s why we are using led, LCD, etc.., components as output devices to

produce some specific real-time outputs.

To control all the above components, we should use some integrated circuits as a

master device. These integrated circuits can be separated as micro controller and micro

processor.to make communication between all these devices we can use any of the

hardware communication medium.

After all the connection and all we should give the instruction to the master

device to control all the other output components. To give the instruction to the device

we are using Embedded C as a programming language, but The machines/master

devices can understand only 0’s and 1’s. to convert the human understandable

instructions into machine code we can use any of the software related to the

microcontroller/processor. After this we can embed the code with required master

device, though we control the output devices to get some specific output.

Why Embedded Systems ..?

The computer is used primarily to provide flexibility and to simplify the system

design. Unlike a PC, program code is usually stored in ROM and not a hard disk drive.

Now a day all of us using hardware’s to reduce man work, and to reduce time

complexity. By embedding all the components or circuits into a single component we can

get the above output.as well as by integrating circuits we can reduce the size of the

embedded circuit to make the circuit as Reliable. embedded system can also be used for

industry automation.

Uses of Embedded

Embedded systems are commonly found in consumer, cooking, industrial,

automotive, medical, commercial and military applications.
