Intel 8XC196NT CCBs, CCRs, Channel-to-channel matching error, Characteristic, Clear, Code

87C196CB SUPPLEMENT

CAN	Controller area network. The 87C196CB’s integrated
	networking peripheral, similar to Intel’s standalone
	82527 CAN serial communications controller, that
	supports CAN specification 2.0.
CCBs	Chip configuration bytes. The chip configuration
	registers (CCRs) are loaded with the contents of the
	CCBs after a device reset, unless the device is
	entering programming modes, in which case the
	PCCBs are used.
CCRs	Chip configuration registers. Registers that specify
	the environment in which the device will be
	operating. The chip configuration registers are loaded
	with the contents of the CCBs after a device reset
	unless the device is entering programming modes, in
	which case the PCCBs are used.
channel-to-channel matching error	The difference between corresponding code
	transitions of actual characteristics taken from
	different A/D converter channels under the same
	temperature, voltage, and frequency conditions. This
	error is caused by differences in DC input leakage and
	on-channel resistance from one multiplexer channel
	to another.
characteristic	A graph of output code versus input voltage; the
	transfer function of an A/D converter.
clear	The “0” value of a bit or the act of giving it a “0”
	value. See also set.
code	1) A set of instructions that perform a specific
	function; a program.
	2) The digital value output by the A/D converter.
code center	The voltage corresponding to the midpoint between
	two adjacent code transitions on the A/D converter.
code transition	The point at which the A/D converter’s output code
	changes from “Q” to “Q+1.” The input voltage corre-
	sponding to a code transition is defined as the voltage
	that is equally likely to produce either of two adjacent
	codes.
