Abstract
It is hard to find another market in information technology that shows similar steady growth to the market for embedded systems. As microcontrollers, they have taken over a variety of functions in multitudinous technical systems, for example, in manufacturing plants, medical equipment, power supply systems, aircraft, and cars, but also in home appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators.
