• All h/w required is available on single chip
• Interacts with physical elements (Pressure, temp.) for

What is an Embedded System
• Embedded system means the processor is embedded
into that application.
• An embedded product uses a microprocessor or
microcontroller to do one task only.
• In an embedded system, there is only one
application software that is typically burned into
ROM.
• Example ： printer, keyboard, video game player,
microwave oven, etc.
