7. An embedded product uses a microprocessor or microcontroller to do one task only.
8. In an embedded system, there is only one application software that is typically burned into memory.
10. Semiconductor Devices and Microelectronics. 7 Earlier: Vacuum tube diodes. Transistors. Now: Semiconductor diodes. Semiconductor Transistors. Build circuits to: Amplify electronic signals. Filter signals according to frequency. Typical example : Audio system. An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
11. Digital Electronics. 8 Transistor as switch. Develop switching logic using multiple transistors. Electronic Data is the treated as Digital having only 2 voltage levels : 0 V and 5 V. A typical electronic data would be something like this: 10101110101000010101010001010101010……. This is called binary digital as it has only two voltages: 0 V represented by digit 0 and 5V represented by digit 1. These 1’s and 0’s turn ON and OFF the transistors. An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
12. Example of Digital world around us….. Computers. Electronic Systems (Digital) Cell Phones. Computer Networks. Communication Channels. Hard Disks’ CD-ROM’s. Pen Drives and Flash Memories. 9 An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
13. Micro-Electronics… Transistors are small. Take cross section of human hair… (Diameter is 0.1 mm) How many transistors can you implement/fabricate in that area???? (Any Clue) Intel P-4 Consists of 42 Million Transistors in and area of 217 mm². (Approx. 1.5 cm x 1.5cm) What do you do with so many transistors: Implement memory to store data. Build logic to solve problems. Problems ????? 10 An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
14. VLSI…. Very Large Scale Integration…. Integration of what ? Transistors. 11 An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
15. Design Flow…. 12 How to build an electronic system?? Preferably digital. Transistors logic gates Cells Blocks Integrated circuits Circuit Board. An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
16. Microprocessors and Computer Architecture. What is needed to make systems smart???? Human Brain !!! We are surrounded by microprocessors. Where are they??? In cell phones. In cars. Smallest electronic system you can think of. Largest system you can think of. They are there is Shoes as well. What???? In shoes??? What would a piece of semi-conductor do in a shoes? 13 An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
17. Why Microprocessors? They will act as brain of the system. They add intelligence to the system. They can be programmed to perform a task. Once programmed, they make the system work automatically. Computer Architecture! Specialized branch that deals with the Microprocessor Architecture. For instance: What is the memory requirement of the system. How many input and output devices are to be connected to the system. 14 An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
18. Block Diagram of a Computer 15 An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
19. Digital Signal Processing and Communication. 16 Most of the signals in real world are analog. (In fact all the signals are analog) Temperature. Pressure. Human Voice. Electricity. But we are into digital world. As microprocessors are everywhere. Microprocessors are digital. An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
20. Bridge. 17 If that’s the case then there had to be a bridge between the real world and digital world. Real world signals need to processed and fed to microprocessor for processing. Analog to digital conversion. Once processed, the digital output of the microprocessor needs to be converted back to analog (Real world) Digital to analog conversion. Signal processing is the field that deals with how to make this bridge between the real and digital world without loosing the data. An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
21. Communication. 18 Most of the communication is digital. Like? Cell phone communication. Messaging service. Internet. Web browsing. Voice chat (VOIP) Video conferencing. An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
22. Computer Networks. 19 If you have many computers why not hook them together? What’s the use of that? Data transfer between them. Bluetooth. LAN. Wireless sensor networks. Improve efficiency. Single task performed by more then one computer. Parallel processing. Cluster computing Grid Computing. An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
23. WWW. 20 Internet is the backbone of today's communication. If I have to go to office and all I have to do is work there on computer, then why not do it from my home. I do have a personal computer. Log ON to the office server through internet and start working. (Hurrary!!!) Wireless networks. Optical communication. An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
24. Power Electronics and Control Systems. Areas that require computer control but work on high voltages. Aircraft control. Industrial Drives. Industrial Robots. Automatic control of huge systems like: Space shuttle. Airbus A380. Or small systems like: Nano-positioner. Room temperature control. 21 An Overview of Various Fields of Electronics. Anish Goel
