An '''embedded system''' is a dedicated computer system designed for one or two specific functions. This system is embedded as a part of a complete device system that includes [[Hardware|hardware]], such as electrical and mechanical components. The embedded system is unlike the general-purpose [[Computer|computer]], which is engineered to manage a wide range of processing tasks. Because an embedded system is engineered to perform certain tasks only, design engineers may optimize size, cost, power consumption, reliability and performance. Embedded systems are typically produced on broad scales and share functionalities across a variety of environments and applications.<ref>Definition - What does Embedded System mean?

== Basic Structure of an Embedded System<ref>What is the Basic Structure of an Embedded System? [https://www.omnisci.com/technical-glossary/embedded-systems Omni SCI]</ref>==
The basic structure of an embedded system includes the following components:
*Sensor: The sensor measures and converts the physical quantity to an electrical signal, which can then be read by an embedded systems engineer or any electronic instrument. A sensor stores the measured quantity to the memory.
*A-D Converter: An analog-to-digital converter converts the analog signal sent by the sensor into a digital signal.
*Processor & ASICs: Processors assess the data to measure the output and store it to the memory.
*D-A Converter: A digital-to-analog converter changes the digital data fed by the processor to analog data
Actuator: An actuator compares the output given by the D-A Converter to the actual output stored and stores the approved output.
