Embedded systems are not always standalone devices. Many embedded systems
consist of small, computerized parts within a larger device that serves a more
general purpose.
This automobile is also equipped with a Micro Auto Box from dSPACE
and acts as the vehicle’s electronic control unit. The MicroAutoBox uses
several programs and applications to receive and interpret data,
determine the best path for the car and then send instructions on to
different car components.
VLSI SYSTEMS
Very-large-scale integration ('VLSI) is the process of
creating integrated circuits by combining thousands of transistor-based
circuits into a single chip. This is the field which involves packing more
and more logic devices into smaller and smaller areas. VLSI, circuits that
would have taken boardfuls of space can now be put into a small space
few millimetres across! This has opened up a big opportunity to do things
that were not possible before. VLSI circuits are everywhere ...in
computers, car, brand new state-of-the-art digital camera, the cell-phones
VLSI began in the 1970s when complex semiconductor and
communication technologies were being developed. The microprocessor is
a VLSI device. The term is no longer as common as it once was, as chips
have increased in complexity into billions of transistors.
Moore’s Law:
The number of transistors and resistors on a chip doubles every 18 months." By Intel co-
founder Gordon Moore regarding the pace of semiconductor technology. He made this
famous comment in 1965 when there were approximately 60 devices on a chip. Proving
Moore's law to be rather accurate, four decades later, Intel placed 1.7 billion transistors on its
Itanium chip.
In 1975, Moore extended the 18 months to 24 months. More recently, he said that the cost of
a semiconductor manufacturing plant doubles with each generation of microprocessor.
Trends in VLSI Technology:
VLSI Technology has advanced rapidly since late 90s. Low cost, high
performance Chips designed and fabricated made strong impact in
systems development and resulted in applications to diversified fields like
computers, communications, entertainment electronics, medicine, and rural
necessities. Spreading of Internet globally, making this world as a 'global
village" and rapid strides in mobile communications have a direct bearing
on the progress made in VLSI technology.
Research work is being done to further develop the technology in
new dimensions like Silicon Photonics, Organic semi-conductors, Flexible
displays etc. These developments take the technology further close to
rural applications and can result in significant improvement in the quality
of life in villages. Fibre optic connectivity, hosting of portals
with useful information to rural folk, e-governance, energy
conservation, wireless sensor networks, Telephone-TV can
improve the standard of living in rural areas significantly. VLSI technology
directly or indirectly is playing a vital role in this direction.
