8XC196LX SUPPLEMENT

maskable interrupts	All interrupts except stack overflow, unimplemented
	opcode, and software trap. Maskable interrupts can be
	disabled (masked) by the individual mask bits in the
	interrupt mask registers, and their servicing can be
	disabled by the DI (disable interrupt service)
	instruction. Each maskable interrupt can be assigned
	to the PTS for processing.
monotonic	The property of successive approximation converters
	which guarantees that increasing input voltages
	produce adjacent codes of increasing value, and that
	decreasing input voltages produce adjacent codes of
	decreasing value. (In other words, a converter is
	monotonic if every code change represents an input
	voltage change in the same direction.) Large differ-
	ential nonlinearity errors can cause the converter to
	exhibit nonmonotonic behavior.
MSB	Most-significant bit of a byte or most-significant byte
	of a word.
MSW	Most-significant word of a double-word or quad-
	word.
multiplexed bus	The configuration in which the microcontroller uses
	both A20:0 and AD15:0 for address and also uses
	AD15:0 for data. See also demultiplexed bus.
n-channel FET	A field-effect transistor with an n-type conducting
	path (channel).
n-type material	Semiconductor material with introduced impurities
	(doping) causing it to have an excess of negatively
	charged carriers.
near constants	Constants that can be accessed with nonextended
	instructions. Constants in page 00H are near
	constants. See also far constants.
near data	Data that can be accessed with nonextended instruc-
	tions. Data in page 00H is near data. See also far data.
no missing codes	An A/D converter has no missing codes if, for every
	output code, there is a unique input voltage range
	which produces that code only. Large differential
	nonlinearity errors can cause the converter to miss
	codes.
