Embedded System
Processor Technology Corporation is a privately held personal computer firm founded in May 1975 by Bob Marsh and Gary Ingram in Berkeley, California. Their very first product was an 8K byte RAM card that was compatible only with the MITS Altair eight-series computer. They quickly became the market leader for personal computers with their processor technology that complimented their line of low-cost, high-quality, and expandable personal computers. This was the era of processor speed increasing, applications becoming smaller, and microprocessor design evolution.
At the beginning of the third decade of the new millennium, processor technology has continued to evolve. In the personal and small office computing markets, the quest for energy efficiency led to new designs for power consumption and thermal dissipation that improved performance while lowering power consumption. This also resulted in the increased reliability and longevity of the machines. The next step was to integrate these improvements into a single integrated design. The result was something like the ultimate engineering feat in computing. The result was more reliability, reduced power consumption and increased performance from a single central processing unit (CPU) and less power dissipation from peripheral components.
One example of recent processor technology in embedded systems is the Intel 8080 processor. The Intel 8080 processor has many advantages over other design types. It runs at higher frequency, and with much less voltage drop. This is in part due to the new microprocessor architecture. There are many companies that are using the Intel 8080 processor in embedded systems.
The Intel 8080 processor technology can be found in video display systems, electronic displays, digital projectors, global positioning system units, personal computers, and communication devices. There are two different approaches that the 8080 can be used to address these systems. The first is the integrated circuit bus system, which is the oldest form of 8080 processor technology. The second is the socket bus system, which is newer and used in some of the newest electronic devices.
The integrated circuit bus system is based on several elements. It includes a host device, processor core, buses, and guard modes. These components interact to deliver and distribute data and instructions between the various layers. The data travels along a path called a path, which consists of several pins or contacts. In each step along the path, new instructions are generated and sent down the path until it reaches the end destination, where it is again analyzed by the processor core.
The Intel 8080 processor is one of the first systems to use the new microprocessor architecture. With this design, it became possible to ship two independent but similar platforms. For example, an embedded system could have an embedded Linux operating system on one socket while the other was based on the Windows platform. There is a good reason that vendors designed these systems with inter-connect technology: they wanted to make it easy to upgrade, swap, or install additional hardware without significant additional expense.
The other part of the system is the single board computer motherboard, which connects the integrated processor core to the rest of the computer system. This is where the security and power supply features come in. The single board computer has an Ethernet port for allowing communication between the input and output devices, and some form of firmware interface for executing the various commands. Most modern embedded systems will incorporate a standard USB cable to allow connecting to a USB keyboard or mouse, but a few will also connect to a FireWire port to expand the user’s capabilities.
To finish the system off is the video display module, which helps the user interface with the desktop or other applications. The most popular display technology are DVI, HDMI, anditec qeatured on almost all of the new motherboards. The DVI technology is older, but has been replaced by HDMI since it is faster and provides better color reproduction than DVI. The HDMI technology, on the other hand, is newer and much more efficient when it comes to bandwidth, so it is becoming the industry standard when it comes to high resolution digital displays. The last component is the 4k static memory board, which is basically just a form of onboard flash used to help maintain system stability and performance.
