Question

How do we reduce power consumption in an embedded system?

Answer 1

Reduce power consumption in an embedded system:

• Power consumption is very significant in battery powered applications.
• Excessive power consumption can raise heat in non battery powered applications.
• One method to consume less power is to run the system more gradually.
• However slow down the system can obviously lead to missed deadlines.
• Careful design is needed to slow down the non critical parts of the machine.
