Q3. Consider an embedded system that uses a sensor that is connected through UART. The sensor is triggered by external events 250 times per second. If the sensor is connected to a 16-bit ADC and UART with settings is as follows (Data: 8 bits, start bit: 1, stop bit: 2, parity: 1 bit):
A) Determine the minimum UART baud rate that is required to support the given sensor (Note: UART has standard Baud rates (4800,9600,19200, etc.). Your answer must conform to the standard).
B) What is the maximum data rate that the given interface can support?
C) Assume embedded system is programmed to read then process the data 1 B at a time. Assume the system requires 10,000 cycles per 1B to read the data, and 30,000 cycles to processing each 1B of data. If the processing unit is running at 50 MHz, determine the maximum duty cycle (up time) of the system. Also determine the corresponding sleep time (per second).
D) If the given system is powered by a 1000 mWh battery, determine the maximum
time the system can run before the battery runs out of energy. Assume the system consumes 0.15 mW if active and 0.1 uW if asleep.
