EMBEDDED PROCESSOR:
Usually embedded system includes some Analog devices. To communicate with such
devices analog to digital and digital to analog converters are incorporated on chip.
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS:
developed to perform a given task, and then such system is called embedded system.
Examples of embedded systems are Digital camera, microwave oven, ATM, etc.
the processing tasks done on an image are: contrast stretching, brightness modification,
smoothing (low pass filtering), sharpening (high pass filtering) etc. The processed images
are stored in a image storage device. A higher resolution image takes more memory space
simply because the numbers of pixels are more. Also, an uncompressed image takes more
space in memory than a compressed image. The image is displayed on a liquid crystal
display (LCD) screen in the camera. A standard interface provides a mechanism for
transferring images to a computer or a printer. This may be serial or parallel interface or a
connector for a standard bus such as PCI or USB. There are other electromechanical parts
such as switches to be operated by the user, motor to rotate the camera for focusing
purpose etc. The system controller must be capable of generating signals to coordinate
and control all such activities.
The oven should produce an audio alert signal when the cooking operation is completed.
The oven should have an exhaust fan (for cooling the magnetron) and a light bulb inside.
A switch should be provided which turns the magnetron off is case; the door of the oven
is open. All these function can be controlled by the controller or processor.
The microwave oven needs some input / out put capability to communicate with the user.
This includes.
Input keys: Consisting of a number pad having digits 0 to 9 for selected time etc.
and function keys such as reset, start, stop, and auto defrost, clock set, auto
cooking, fan control etc. Some of the functions can be multiplexed to reduce the
total number of keys to be provided. For example, by pressing a key once or
twice, different function can be implemented.
