A Brief About Embedded System their

Classi cations and Applications

An embedded system is an electronic system that

has a software and  is embedded in computer
hardware. It is programmable or non-
programmable depending on the application. An
Embedded system is de ned as a way of working,
organizing, performing single or multiple tasks
according to a set of rules.In an embedded system,
all the units assemble and work together according
to the program. Examples of embedded systems
include numerous products such as microwave
ovens, washing machine, printers, automobiles,
Embedded System cameras, etc. These systems use microprocessors,
microcontrollers as well as processors like DSPs.
This article gives an overview of what is an
embedded system and types of embedded system.

The important characteristics of an embedded systems are speed, size, power, reliability, accuracy,
adaptability. Therefore, when the embedded system performs the operations at high speed, then it can be

used for real -time applications. The Size of the system and power consumption should be very low, then
the system can be easily adaptable for different situations.

What is an embedded system?

An Embedded system is a combination of computer hardware and software. As with any electronic system,
this system requires a hardware platform and that is built with a microprocessor or microcontroller.The
Embedded system hardware includes elements like user interface, Input/Output interfaces, display
and  memory, etc.Generally, an embedded system comprises power supply, processor, memory, timers,
serial  communication ports and system application speci c circuits.

Embedded System

Embedded system software is written in a high-level language, and then compiled to achieve a speci c
function within a non-volatile memory in the hardware. Embedded system software is designed to keep in
view of three limits. They are availability of system memory and processor speed. When the system runs
endlessly, there is a need to limit the power dissipation for events like run, stop and wake up.

Types of Embedded Systems

Embedded systems can be classi ed into different types based on performance, functional requirements
and performance of the microcontroller.

1/31/2018 Classification of Embedded Systems with Applications

Embedded systems are classi ed into four categories based on their performance and functional
requirements:

Stand alone embedded systems

Real time embedded systems
Networked embedded systems
Mobile embedded systems

Embedded Systems are classi ed into three types based on the performance of the microcontroller such as

Small scale embedded systems

Medium scale embedded systems
Sophisticated embedded systems

Stand Alone Embedded Systems

Stand alone embedded systems do not require a host system like a computer, it works by itself. It takes the
input from the input ports either analog or digital and processes, calculates and converts the data and gives
the resulting data through the connected device-Which either controls, drives and displays the connected
devices. Examples for the stand alone embedded systems are mp3 players, digital cameras, video game
consoles, microwave ovens and temperature measurement systems.

Real Time Embedded Systems

A real time embedded system is de ned as, a system which gives a required o/p in a particular time.These
types of embedded systems follow the time deadlines for completion of a task. Real time embedded
systems are classi ed into two types such as soft and hard real time systems.

Networked Embedded Systems

These types of embedded systems are related to a network to access the resources. The connected
network can be LAN, WAN or the internet. The connection can be any wired or wireless. This type of
embedded system is the fastest growing area in embedded system applications. The embedded web
server is a type of system wherein all embedded devices are connected to a web server and accessed and
controlled by a web browser.Example for the LAN networked embedded system is a home security system
wherein all sensors are connected and run on the protocol TCP/IP

Mobile Embedded Systems

Mobile embedded systems are used in portable embedded devices like cell phones, mobiles, digital
cameras, mp3 players and personal digital assistants, etc.The basic limitation of these devices is the other
resources and limitation of memory.

Small Scale Embedded Systems

These types of embedded systems are designed with a single 8 or 16-bit microcontroller, that  may even be
activated by a battery. For developing embedded software for small scale embedded systems, the main
programming tools are an editor, assembler,  cross assembler and integrated development environment
(IDE).

Medium Scale Embedded Systems

These types of embedded systems design with a single or 16 or 32 bit microcontroller, RISCs or DSPs.
These types of embedded systems have both hardware and software complexities. For developing
embedded software for medium scale embedded systems, the main programming tools are C, C++, JAVA,
Visual C++, RTOS, debugger, source code engineering tool, simulator and IDE.

Sophisticated Embedded Systems

These types of embedded systems have enormous hardware and software complexities, that may need
ASIPs, IPs, PLAs, scalable or con gurable processors. They are used for cutting-edge applications that need
hardware and software Co-design and  components which have to assemble  in the nal system.

Applications of Embedded Systems:

Embedded systems are used in different applications like automobiles, telecommunications, smart cards,
missiles, satellites, computer networking and digital consumer electronics.
