Best System on chip 2018

We all are the fans of apple devices, not just because they are expensive and we can show off by using them but their build quality, software security, camera etc.

So if will talk about which is the best available SoC in the market, Apple’s A11 bionic SoC is on the top.

Apple is using it in an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 plus and iPhone X.

Before Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 was the champion after its launch in 2017.

Following are some specifications of A11 chip which makes it worlds best SoC at present

  • 4.3 billion transistors
  • 10 nm manufacturing technology
  • 6 cores
  • 6 threads
  • ARMv8 instruction set

Need of Embedded Systems

In the previous post we have learnt about what are embedded systems? and what are their applications?

Embedded systems come into picture when we need something that can work automatically by using a code or software written by the company or user according to their need. Here are following reasons of using embedded systems. IoT (Internet of Things) is one of the fastest growing technologies that uses interconnected embedded systems to transfer or share data between them.

  • They work automatically with no or very little human effort.
  • The cost of embedded systems are cheaper than a human being which would be employ in place of them.
  • Embedded systems are much faster in terms of functioning in comparison with the human beings.
  • They don’t need breaks or leaves
  • They can do the same task again and again which might not be possible for the human beings.

and there are lot more advantage of embedded systems out there.

Embedded systems have changed our life completely by their unlimited applications in human society. All the smart devices that you are using now a days are the examples of embedded systems.

Give 3 examples of embedded systems that you use in daily life in the comment box.

What are microcontrollers?

Do you know what is called the “small electronic chip” that runs your A.C., or your T.V., or your music system, or home-automation systems etc.?

These small chips are called “processors” which can be further divided into microcontroller and microprocessor and other types of processors.  So, microcontrollers are the processors which controls your whole electronic system. Microcontrollers are different from Microprocessors. You can check my other post for to read the difference between microprocessor and microcontroller.

Basically “Micro-controllers” are the CPU on chip which means they have ALU (arithmetic and logical unit), RAM, ROM, input-output ports on the chip itself which makes them very easy to install in any embedded system and reduce the the whole space to a greater value. On the top of everything, microcontroller take very low power to operate.

There are many big manufacturers of microcontroller chip like Atmel, Micro-chip technology (which makes pic series of micrcontrollers) etc.

Difference between Embedded Systems and Robotics

Do you know the difference between embedded systems and robotics? Sometimes get confusing because both uses microcontrollers to perform various functions. So today I will clear you double. Let’s first check the definition of both.

  • Embedded systems are the microcontroller based computer systems that work automatically according to the program fed in it’s processing chip.
  • On the other hand robots are machines that work automatically by using a programs or soft wares and have moving parts.

So the main difference between these two things is that robots are made for task that need movement of a robotic arm or other part and for the purposes like running, walking, flying etc. as you can observe industrial robots where robotics automation is desired to complete the particular with or very less human intervention.

But in case of embedded systems there is no such type of movement that’s why devices like computer and mobile phones come under embedded systems category.

So, in the nutshell we can say that every robot is embedded system but every embedded system might or might not be robot.

What are embedded systems?

If you are from electronics or electrical background then I am 100% sure that you have heard the word Embedded system. But do you know what embedded systems are and why they are used?

Embedded system is basically a computer systems which means it has CPU for processing data. These are used for dedicated purposes like controlling the room heating or cooling systems. There may or may not be the monitor and other peripherals attached to it as we have on our computer systems.

We all are covered with embedded systems in this world.

Some of the examples of embedded systems in our day to day life.

  • Smart phones
  • Television
  • Computer
  • Microwave
  • Automatic controlling system used in cars
  • Fully automatic washing machine

and there are thousands of thousands of examples are there of embedded systems.

You can think the tremendous applications of embedded systems by thinking that from you smart-watches that you wear on your wrist to satellites that are revolving the earth in the particular orbit uses embedded systems to operate.

Even the most of the electronic gadgets that you use in daily life have embedded system in them.
