Embedded Systems is just one discipline in EE. How many people design something like an lm317 deployed on embedded devices? EE tries to teach that, too, until it's all to complex not to specialize on one branch. Another discipline I was offered to specialize in was Motor Appliances and Power Amplifiers. Those don't have much to do with CS, except maybe for digital control circuits.
- cushychicken 10y agoWhen I said "a lot more standardization", I had things like DRAM or PCIe in mind, which are spec'd by their relevant consortiums (JEDEC and PCI-SIG, respectively). As in, there's clear limits on the way to make it work, and if you meet those limits, it's fine. I do a lot of POL planning for purposes of thermal management, so yeah. I'm definitely not that specialized.
- posterboy 10y ago> DRAM or PCIe Well, that's also a better example for my point. the sppeds they achieve require some research
- cushychicken 10y agoMaybe for a flyby topology, but I mostly work with point-to-point topologies. That's basically an exercise in good impedance control.
