output mux counter

Counter used to select the output mux that drives address and data. It is reset with the Interface Reset and incremented by a copy of the locally generated forwarded clock.

PAL

Privileged architecture library. See also PALcode. See also Programmable array logic (hardware). A device that can be programmed by a process that blows individual fuses to create a circuit.

PALcode

Alpha privileged architecture library code, written to support Alpha microprocessors. PALcode implements architecturally defined behavior.

PALmode

A special environment for running PALcode routines.

parameter

A variable that is given a specific value that is passed to a program before execution.

parity

A method for checking the accuracy of data by calculating the sum of the number of ones in a piece of binary data. Even parity requires the correct sum to be an even num- ber, odd parity requires the correct sum to be an odd number.

PGA

Pin grid array.

pipeline

A CPU design technique whereby multiple instructions are simultaneously overlapped in execution.

PLA

Programmable logic array.

PLCC

Plastic leadless chip carrier or plastic-leaded chip carrier.

PLD

Programmable logic device.

PLL

Phase-locked loop.

PMOS

P-type metal-oxide semiconductor.

PQ

Probe queue.
