It generally means that something retains its individuality while
being a more or less hidden essential part of some gadget. Like uCs
being embedded in ordinary looking watches, dishwashers or
whatever. Zoz talked about embedding one BiCore into another, which
somewhat overloads the usual meaning, to indicate that signals of
one oscillator influence another. I'd say it's better not to worry
too much about such words.
Discussing a circuit without looking at the schematic is usually
not very productive. And the sentence: "A wide range of behaviors
can be achieved by varying the resistor values and the hookup
topology." Sounds grand, but means very little until someone
provides a definition of that behavioural space.
Best,
Steve
