GLOSSARY

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

 

microcontroller begins executing the interrupt service

 

routine or PTS routine. Determine the instruction in

 

your code that has the longest execution time and use

 

that execution time in calculating interrupt latency.

interrupt service routine

A software routine that you provide to service a

 

standard interrupt request.

interrupt vector

A location in special-purpose memory that holds the

 

starting address of an interrupt service routine.

J1850

An integrated communications controller peripheral

 

that supports the 10.4 Kb/s variable pulse-width

 

(VPW) medium-speed, class B, in-vehicle network

 

protocol.

ISR

See interrupt service routine.

linearity errors

See differential nonlinearity and nonlinearity.

LONG-INTEGER

A 32-bit, signed variable with values from –2 31

 

through +231–1.

LSB

1) Least-significant bit of a byte or least-significant

 

byte of a word.

 

2) In an A/D converter, the reference voltage divided

 

by 2n, where n is the number of bits to be converted.

 

For a 10-bit converter with a reference voltage of 5.12

 

volts, one LSB is equal to 5.0 millivolts (5.12 ÷ 210).

LSW

Least-significant word of a double-word or quad-

 

word.
