Identification (15 Items x 2 Points Each)
Read and analyze each item.
1. Refers a computer or a microprocessor based system that is controlled by either one or more
powerful microcontroller or a digital signal processor that has preloaded software for one specific
function.
2. Communicates with outside world through sensors that measure the external environment.
3. These vary from simple LEDS and seven segment displays to small alpha numeric LCD panels.
4. Important part of any embedded system design that provides storage.
5. It is an embedded system that lets the aforesaid device control sparks and fuel injectors.
6. Provide about 1MP of performance and were at their introduction the fastest processors available.
7. An 8bit CPU with 16 bit addresses bus capable of direct access to 64k of memory space.
8. Introduced in the mid 1970s by Motorola and is as architecture the basis of several hundred of
derivative processors and microcontrollers.
9. Generally reserved for microprocessors optimized for signal processing algorithms and which run at
audio rates.
10. Were controlled by heavy, large, and expensive computer systems that could not be carried and
had to be linked via cable or wireless devices.
