Like any other computing system, an embedded system is a combination of hardware and 
software which is custom built for system specific purpose, as the requirements of each system 
vary considerably.
EXAMPLES:
COMPUTER EMBEDDED 
SYSTEM STSTEM 
• General Purpose: these are the 
computers we use them for 
performing a variety of everyday 
tasks such as playing games, word 
processing, scientific calculations, 
etc., 
• These are sets of systems which have 
a CPU and other peripherals, input 
output devices, monitoring devices 
assembled with them. 
• Specific Purpose: these perform 
single well defined task which is 
custom built for system specific 
purposes such as process control, 
automation, 
aeronautics, aviation etc., 
• Is a custom built collection of on 
board chips which are put together to 
provide a functional specific output.
COMPUTER EMBEDDED 
SYSTEM STSTEM 
• They are very cumbersome 
machines such as work stations 
and mainframe computers. 
• They are not time critical in their 
operations. 
• These are hand held devices which 
are customized and have eased 
mobility. 
• In many of the case they have to 
be very time critical responding to 
various real time interrupts.

CATEGORIES OF EMBEDDED 
SYSTEMS 
CATEGORIES 
• Stand-alone embedded systems: 
which works in a stand-alone 
mode: taking inputs and giving 
outputs. Such systems are required 
in process control, modern 
entertainment equipment's , 
automations. 
EXAMPLES
CATEGORIES OF EMBEDDED 
SYSTEMS 
• Real Time embedded Systems: 
Sometimes embedded systems are 
required to carry out specific tasks 
in a specified amount of time. 
They can be hard real time (real 
time constrains has to be strictly 
maintained) Or Soft Real time 
(Real time constrains are not so 
critical).
CATEGORIES OF EMBEDDED 
SYSTEMS 
• Networked Applications: 
Embedded systems which are need 
to be connected in a networked 
environment. Typically one based 
on TCP/IP or web servers 
(HTTP).
CATEGORIES OF EMBEDDED 
SYSTEMS 
• Wireless networks that can support 
high speeds, mobile devices are 
capable of supporting high data 
rates, with voice and internet. The 
special requirements of these devices 
is threefold: they should have 
powerful computing and 
communication capabilities, they 
should be capable to perform some 
real time tasks, in addition to non 
real-time tasks.

HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE OF 
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS 
• An embedded system is built around a processor. 
• The central processing unit does the necessary computation based on the input 
it receives from various external devices. 
• The functionality of the CPU is an embedded system is same as the functionality of the 
CPU in a desktop, except that the CPU in an embedded system is less powerful. 
• The processor has limited internal memory, and if this internal memory is not sufficient 
for a given application external memory devices are used. 
• The hardware also includes any components that facilitates the user-application 
interaction, such as display units, keypads etc.

3.LATCHES AND BUFFERS: 
• Processor based systems need to derive external devices such as LEDs, 
displays, relays, etc. 
• The processor does not directly interface with these devices. 
• Flip-flop logic chips are used to drive external drivers. 
• These chips hold the processor output data to be send to the external devices. 
4.CRYSTAL: 
• The CPU needs a clock source, and a crystal oscillator generates the clock. 
• The Crystal is choose based on the clock frequency of the processor. 
• Micro-controllers provide an on chip oscillator and you connect an external 
crystal or ceramic resonator. 
• The clock generation circuitry determines the various states of machine cycles.
5.RESET CIRCUIT: 
• It is generally built in the hardware to take care of any unforeseen problems. 
• This circuit handles software handles software hang-ups, power supply failures, etc. 
• The processor sends a status signal to this circuit periodically. 
• If in case this signal is not received, it is an indicator that some thing is wrong, 
which is then reset by this circuit. 
• Single chip solutions are also available. 
6.KEYPAD: 
• Each embedded systems offer different capabilities for providing user input. 
• Handheld computers are provided with either full-fledged QWERTY keyboard or a 
form of handwriting recognition. 
• Depending on the needs they can vary from few keys to a full-fledged keyboard.
7.ADC AND DAC:
8.APPLICATION SPECIFIC CONTROL CIRCUITRY:
9.DISPLAY UNITS:
9.COMMUNICATION DEVICES: 
• Embedded Systems need to interface with the external devices, thus they need 
communication interfaces. 
• Most processors provide a serial interface to send and receive data in serial form. 
Networked embedded systems are provided with Ethernet interface. 
• Mobile phones and handheld computers are provided with a number of 
communication interfaces as such as serial, parallel, infrared, Bluetooth, and 
USB(Universal Serial Bus). 
10.PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICES: 
• The manifold requirements are met using PLDs(Programmable Logic Devices). 
Using design automation tools such as Verilog and VHDL. 
• This Single chip can be Programmable Logic Device (PLD), Field Programmable 
Gate Array, Programmable Array Logic (PAL). 
• Major Suppliers are Axel, Adaptive Silicon, Altera, Atmel, Cypress 
Semiconductors, Quick Logic, Transcend and Xilinx.
