87C196CB SUPPLEMENT

nonlinearity	The maximum deviation of code transitions of the
	terminal-based characteristic from the corre-
	sponding code transitions of the ideal characteristic.
nonmaskable interrupts	Interrupts that cannot be masked (disabled) and
	cannot be assigned to the PTS for processing. The
	nonmaskable interrupts are unimplemented opcode,
	software trap, and NMI.
nonvolatile memory	Read-only memory that retains its contents when
	power is removed. Many MCS® 96 microcontrollers
	are available with either masked ROM, EPROM, or
	OTPROM. Consult the Automotive Products or
	Embedded Microcontrollers databook to determine
	which type of memory is available for a specific
	device.
npn transistor	A transistor consisting of one part p-type material and
	two parts n-type material.
off-isolation	The ability of an A/D converter to reject (isolate) the
	signal on a deselected (off) output.
OTPROM	One-time-programmable read-only memory. Similar
	to EPROM, but it comes in an unwindowed package
	and cannot be erased.
p-channel FET	A field-effect transistor with a p-type conducting
	path.
p-type material	Semiconductor material with introduced impurities
	(doping) causing it to have an excess of positively
	charged carriers.
PC	Program counter.
PCCBs	Programming chip configuration bytes, which are
	loaded into the chip configuration registers (CCRs)
	when the device is entering programming modes;
	otherwise, the CCBs are used.
PIC	Programmable interrupt controller. The module
	responsible for handling interrupts that are to be
	serviced by interrupt service routines that you
	provide. Also called simply the interrupt controller.
