Energy Efficiency of Embedded Controllers

One of the most important limitations to be considered in the design phase of the embedded system is the energy consumption. The energy consumption is more efficient, especially in the embedded devices fed by the battery, because the charging time is an obstacle to the use of the device. In addition, energy efficiency in terms of power dissipation and system health is important in other embedded applications such as biomedical, test and measurement, industrial control and robots. Reducing energy consumption during the design phase of the embedded system is generally considered as the task of the hardware. In fact, the software should also undertake the task of improving energy efficiency. In this research, the control algorithm of the embedded system is written in two different methods and their energy consumption was compared.
