 Definition of Embedded Systems

An embedded system is a computer system designed to

do one or a few dedicated and/or specific functions, often
with real-time computing constraints.

 Embedded Systems - Desirable
features
☆ Small set of functions

☆ Designed for low-power dissipation

☆ Has limited memory and limited number of peripherals.

☆ Applications are not alterable by the user.

☆ Many of them are not accessible directly

☆ Need to be highly reliable.

☆ Need to operate with time constraints

 Figure of Merit - Embedded System

☆ Low-power dissipation - Battery powered devices

☆ Small physical size - Handheld devices/Allotted in small spaces
within a larger system
☆ Small code size - Needs to be fitted into the flash(ROM) of the
MCU
☆ High speed of response - High clock frequency operation
☆ Real time response - Operations are stipulated to be completed
within a given deadline.
