Generally, form factors are related to different electronic devices like motherboards, cell phones, etc. For motherboard, it can be referred to as one kind of hardware peripherals & its structure. So motherboard form factors are micro-ATX & ATX. Similarly, for mobile phones, it is referred to as the complete shape, design of the phone like the traditional candy bar shape, which changes from the slide & flip form factors. At present, most of the phones are available with touch … [Read more...]
Development Process of Embedded Systems
Generally, in any kind of work, several tasks need to be done in the progression of meeting the purposes and goals intended at accomplishing through that effort. In addressing “what type of task need to be achieved”, numerous inputs and outputs and the complete contents of these tasks are defined and planned in a logical manner, which is jointly stated to as the “process”. In order to complete the expansion of software as a product, several types of tasks need to be achieved with layers like in … [Read more...]
Wireless Power Transfer
One of the major problems in power system is the losses occurring during the transmission of electrical power. The loss of percentage during the transmission is approximated as 26%. The main cause for power loss during transmission is the resistance of wires used in the grid. According to WRI (world resource institute), the electricity grid of India has the highest percentage (27-40%) of power transmission losses in the world. For this reason, Telsa has proposed methods of electricity … [Read more...]

But the software that is programmed into the microcontroller is capable of solving only a limited range of problems. … [Read more...]
What is RISC and CISC Architecture & Their Differences
The architecture of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) operates the capacity to function from “Instruction Set Architecture” to where it was designed. The architectural design of the CPU is Reduced instruction set computing (RISC) and Complex instruction set computing (CISC). CISC has the capacity to perform multi-step operations or addressing modes within one instruction set. It is the CPU design where one instruction works several low-level acts. For instance, memory storage, loading from … [Read more...]
