microprocessor

We use embedded computers everyday - we don’t see most of them because, as their name implies, they’re buried deep inside almost everything that effects our daily lives - from industrial equipment to domestic appliances. Although they don’t receive anything like as much attention from the media as does the ignoble PC, the sheer number of embedded computers and their economic importance is considerable. In fact, around ninety percent of all microprocessors manufactured in any one year are destined to be embedded inside electronic products.
