Small Size, Low Weight
- Embedded computers are embedded in something
- Form factor may be dictated by aesthetics
- Electronics may be squeezed into whatever space is left over
- Form factor may be carry-over from previous, less-capable
systems
- Weight may be critical
- Fuel economy for transportation
- Comfort for carried objects
Design challenges:
- Non-rectangular, 3-D geometries
- Integrating digital + analog + power on single chip for
smaller size/lighter weight
