The fast growing embedded market is one of the most diverse in terms of end applications. Embedded includes traditional general purpose ‘embedded CPU’ platforms such as Medical, Robotics, Industrial Control, and Data Acquisition, but can also include Video Surveillance, Automotive, Point-of-Sale, and other more specialized applications. Maxim Integrated offers a wide variety of support products for all of these sub segment platforms, ranging from specialized Timing products like processor specific XO and clocks, to Bridge that can connect the latest PCIe based embedded processor families to legacy protocols such as PCI-X, PCI, USB, UART, and more. In fact, Maxim Integrated Timing, Switching, and Signal Conditioning products are already used in most embedded platform applications with the most popular embedded processors.

Embedded processors can include CPU chipsets from major CPU vendors, SOC, and FPGA from major vendors which are used across all embedded segments. As an example, the FPGA-Maxim Integrated block diagram illustrates the many I/O, power management, and timing functions that Maxim Integrated can provide.
