The Impact of Embedded Components

摘要

Different types of materials, increased automation and advanced team design processes are just some of the ways companies can lower costs and maintain high standards. Add to that the desire of consumers to have smaller and lighter products, and the challenge that OEMs face today is clearly recognized. This push for miniaturi/ation and cost savings of electronic systems has increased the viability of using embedded component technology (ECT). By using embedded components, OEMs can realize a number of other benefits, including: 1. System cost and weight reduction 2. Assembly cost reduction 3. Board surface area preservation 4. Performance increases 5. Reliability improvements 6. Design density, functionality and profitability increases.
