This document provides an overview of advanced embedded systems and microcontrollers. It discusses embedded systems hardware and software design, and introduces three common microcontrollers - the 8051, AVR, and ARM. The 8051 and AVR are 8-bit microcontrollers often used in temperature sensors and other simple applications. The 32-bit ARM microcontroller is more powerful and may be used where safety is critical, like airbags in cars. Microcontrollers combine a CPU, memory, and I/O onto a single chip and are programmed using instructions stored in flash memory.
2. 1. The Embedded Experts company is delivering
quality products and services in Embedded
Systems
2. The young engineers and technical enthusiasts
provide training and project guidance in
embedded system hardware and software
design & development
4. What is Embedded Systems ? ? ?
Combination of hardware and Software for a
Dedicated application
The software is permanently set into a read-
only memory
MP3 Player is an Embedded System
Computer is not an embedded system
But combination of different embedded
systems
5. MICROCONTROLLER
Microcontroller is a combination of CPU, RAM,
ROM, TIMERS/COUNTERS, INTRUPTS,
INPUT/OUTPUTS etc. are fabricated on a single
chip.
They are the heart and soul of many everyday
appliances.
A group of instructions called Program is fed to its
Flash Memory
8. CHOOSING MICROCONTROLLER
Now we have 3 options, 8, 16 & 32 bit
microcontroller
Choice is done on the basis of application
Example:-
Air bags in cars - 32-bit
Temprature Sensor in AC 8 bit
