Embedded system refers to a computer system embedded in other devices as a part of it. Embedded systems are usually designed to achieve specific functions, such as control, communication, measurement and monitoring. Embedded system has the characteristics of small size, low power consumption, low cost and high reliability. Single chip microcomputer belongs to the category of embedded development, so single chip microcomputer is embedded technology.
Embedded single-chip microcomputer, that is, embedded microcontroller, refers to a special computer system with microcontroller as the core control unit and embedded in the target system, which is a widely used embedded system structure. Embedded system and single chip microcomputer are the focus of attention in the field of science and technology for a long time, and they are also scientific and technological products that promote the development of science and technology and improve living standards. Embedded single chip microcomputer refers to an embedded system with microcontroller as the core.
Application mode of embedded single chip microcomputer
Because the biggest, widest and lowest application of embedded system is the intelligent transformation of traditional electronic technology, the application mode of electronic system with strong electronic system design color will exist for a long time, mainly based on the electronic technology team familiar with the object, with the least cost of embedded system software and hardware, mainly based on 8-bit computers.
In addition, computer professionals will be more and more involved in embedded system applications, but due to the gap in object expertise, their application fields will focus on network, communication, multimedia, business electronics and so on, and it is impossible to replace the original embedded applications of electronic engineers in control, instrumentation, machinery, electronics and so on.
Therefore, these two objective application modes will coexist for a long time and complement each other in different fields. Electronic system design mode should learn computer engineering methods and embedded system software technology from computer application design mode; Computer application design mode should understand the characteristics of circuit system, basic peripheral circuit design method and basic requirements of object system from electronic system design mode.
