8XC196NP, 80C196NU USER’S MANUAL

chip-select unit

The integrated module that selects an external

 

memory device during an external bus cycle.

clear

The “0” value of a bit or the act of giving it a “0”

 

value. See also set.

deassert

The act of making a signal inactive (disabled). The

 

polarity (high or low) is defined by the signal name.

 

Active-low signals are designated by a pound symbol

 

(#) suffix; active-high signals have no suffix. To

 

deassert RD# is to drive it high; to deassert ALE is to

 

drive it low.

demultiplexed bus

The configuration in which the device uses separate

 

lines for address and data (address on A19:0; data on

 

AD15:0 for a 16-bit bus or AD7:0 for an 8-bit bus).

 

See also multiplexed bus.

doping

The process of introducing a periodic table Group III

 

or Group V element into a Group IV element (e.g.,

 

silicon). A Group III impurity (e.g., indium or

 

gallium) results in a p-typematerial. A Group V

 

impurity (e.g., arsenic or antimony) results in an n-

 

type material.

double-word

Any 32-bit unit of data.

DOUBLE-WORD

An unsigned, 32-bit variable with values from 0

 

through 232–1.

EDAR

Extended data address register used by the EPORT.

EPA

Event processor array. An integrated peripheral that

 

provides high-speed input/output capability.

EPC

Extended program counter used by the EPORT.

EPORT

Extended addressing port. The port that provides the

 

additional address lines to support extended

 

addressing.

ESD

Electrostatic discharge.

external address

A 20-bit address is presented on the device pins. The

 

address decoded by an external device depends on

 

how many of these address lines the external system

 

uses. See also internal address.

far constants

Constants that can be accessed only with extended

 

instructions. See also near constants.
