Match the following components to their descriptions in the context of embedded systems:
Microcontroller = Microprocessor with integrated memory and peripheral interfaces Microprocessor = Can be used with external chips for memory and peripheral interface circuits Real-Time Computing = Characteristic often required by embedded systems Embedded System = A computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electronic system
Match the following terms with their definitions related to embedded systems:
Embedded System = A computer system that has a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electronic system Microcontroller = A microprocessor with integrated memory and peripheral interfaces Real-Time Computing = Characteristic of embedded systems that control physical operations Microprocessor = Commonly used in more complex embedded systems with external chips for memory and peripheral interface circuits
Explain what an embedded system is and provide examples of where they are commonly found.
An embedded system is a computer system that has a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electronic system. It is commonly found in devices such as smartphones, cars, medical equipment, and industrial machinery.
Describe the real-time computing constraints that embedded systems often have.
Embedded systems often have to respond to events in real-time, meaning they need to process and react to input within strict time constraints. This is important for applications such as robotics, automation, and control systems.
What are the two main types of processors used in modern embedded systems?
Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers, which are microprocessors with integrated memory and peripheral interfaces. However, ordinary microprocessors using external chips for memory and peripherals are also common, especially in more complex systems.
What was the estimated percentage of microprocessors used in embedded systems in 2009?
In 2009, it was estimated that ninety-eight percent of all microprocessors manufactured were used in embedded systems.
What are some examples of input/output peripheral devices commonly used in embedded systems?
Examples of input/output peripheral devices commonly used in embedded systems include sensors, actuators, displays, keypads, and communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, and I2C.
