Embedded Technology

Introduction

Embedded systems, which are electronic systems that include a microcomputer to perform a specific dedicated application, are ubiquitous. Every week millions of tiny computer chips come pouring out of factories like Motorola and Mitsubishi and find their way into our everyday products. Our global economy, our production of food, our transportation systems, our military defense, our communication systems, and even our quality of life depend on the efficiency and effectiveness of these embedded systems. As electronics, electrical and computer engineers we need to play a major role in all phases of this effort: planning, design, analysis, manufacturing, and marketing. Simply put, embedded technology is software or hardware that is hidden—embedded—in a large device or system. It typically refers to a fixed function device, as compared with a PC, which runs general-purpose applications.
