GLOSSARY

far data

Data that can be accessed only with extended instruc-

 

 

tions. See also near data.

FET

Field-effect transistor.

f

Lowercase “f” represents the frequency of the internal

 

 

clock. For the 8XC196NP, f is always equal to FXTAL1

 

 

(the input frequency on XTAL1). For the 80C196NU,

 

 

which employs a phase-locked loop with clock

 

 

multiplier circuitry, f is equal to either FXTAL1,

 

 

2FXTAL1, or 4FXTAL1. The multiplier depends on the

 

 

clock mode, which is controlled by the PLLEN1 and

 

 

PLLEN2 input pins. (Figure 2-4 on page 2-8

 

 

illustrates the clock circuitry of the 80C196NU.)

fractional mode

A mode of the multiply-accumulatefunction in which

 

 

the multiplier result is shifted left one bit before being

 

 

written to the accumulator. This left shift eliminates

 

 

the extra sign bit when both operands are signed,

 

 

leaving a correctly signed result.

hold latency

The time it takes the microcontroller to assert HLDA#

 

 

after an external device asserts HOLD#.

input leakage

Current leakage from an input pin to power or ground.

integer

Any member of the set consisting of the positive and

 

 

negative whole numbers and zero.

INTEGER

A 16-bit, signed variable with values from –2 15

 

 

through +215–1.

internal address

The 24-bit address that the microcontroller generates.

 

 

See also external address.

interrupt controller

The module responsible for handling interrupts that

 

 

are to be serviced by interrupt service routines that

 

 

you provide. Also called the programmable interrupt

 

 

controller (PIC).

interrupt latency

The total delay between the time that an interrupt is

 

 

generated (not acknowledged) and the time that the

 

 

device begins executing the interrupt service routine

 

 

or PTS routine.

interrupt service routine

A software routine that you provide to service a

 

 

standard interrupt. See also PTS routine.

interrupt vector

A location in special-purpose memory that holds the

 

 

starting address of an interrupt service routine.
