Embedded systems combine both hardware and software to provide dedicated services to a larger system or device. They contain components like a microcontroller, memory, sensors and I/O interfaces. Embedded systems are used in applications that require efficiency, reliability, and specific functionality like real-time control. They are customizable, low cost and have low power consumption. The microcontroller acts as the brain and determines the capabilities of the embedded system. Printed circuit boards are used to hold electronic components and provide electrical connections. Embedded systems perform crucial roles in industries and help drive innovation.

7. Why Microcontroller…?
 The choice of
microcontroller or
microprocessor is critical
to the performance,
efficiency, and capabilities
of the embedded system.
It determines factors such
as processing speed,
memory capacity,
communication
interfaces, and power
consumption.

8. Printed Circuit Board
 PCB stands for “Printed
Circuit Board.” It is a
fundamental component in
many electronic devices,
including embedded
systems. A PCB is a flat
board made of non-
conductive material
(typically fiberglass or
composite) that holds
electronic components and
provides pathways for
electrical connections.

9. Brain Of An Embedded System
 The microcontroller or
microprocessor
determines the
capabilities and
limitations of the
embedded system. It
affects factors such as
processing speed,
memory capacity,
communication
interfaces, power
consumption, and more.
