P Systems Overview

P Systems Overview

*Semiconductor Industry Association(SIA projects 1 billion transistors produced per person by 2008.)

P Systems OverviewEmbedded Systems and Applications Embedded microprocessors account for

about 94% of all microprocessor sales. Embedded microprocessors extend

over a much larger performance range than PC’s.

TerminologyGP Systems vs. Embedded Systems What are the key design parameters?

P Systems OverviewBasic microprocessor system structure Central processing unit (CPU) Memory Input/Output (I/O) System bus

A microcontroller or SoC will include some or all components on the same chip as the CPU.

Why the ARM?Many possible devices to study (or use!)… Intel, Motorola, Microchip, Atmel, TI,

Zilog, Philips, Rabbit, Siemens, Hitachi, AMD, etc.

Considerations Installed base and software compatibility Development tool availability Complexity and architectural issues Computational capabilities

Why not use the Pentium 4 instead?
