MSP430 Microcontroller In Embedded System Projects

Embedded Systems are found in every walk of life. We find them in buildings, farms, homes and cars. There are wearable systems that are embedded into shoes and clothing. There is medical electronic equipment implanted inside human bodies. An embedded system requires sensors to convert physical quantities such as sound, light, humidity or pressure into analog electrical signals. An analog frontend interface conditions these signals and converts them into digital form. An embedded processor handles these digital signals, extracting information from them and converting the information into other usable forms. An analog backend interface converts the processed digital signals into analog signals that can drive an external appliance such as a motor. A majority of embedded systems are battery- driven and need circuits for power and battery management.
