Intel 8XC196MC, 8XC196MD, 8XC196MH manual Double-Word

	GLOSSARY
deassert	The act of making a signal inactive (disabled). The
	polarity (high or low) is defined by the signal name.
	Active-low signals are designated by a pound symbol
	(#) suffix; active-high signals have no suffix. To
	deassert RD# is to drive it high; to deassert ALE is to
	drive it low.
differential nonlinearity	The difference between the actual code width and the
	ideal one-LSB code width of the terminal-based
	characteristic of an A/D converter. It provides a
	measure of how much the input voltage may have
	changed in order to produce a one-count change in the
	conversion result. Differential nonlinearity is a
	measure of local code-width error; nonlinearity is a
	measure of overall code-transition error.
doping	The process of introducing a periodic table Group III
	or Group V element into a Group IV element (e.g.,
	silicon). A Group III impurity (e.g., indium or
	gallium) results in a p-typematerial. A Group V
	impurity (e.g., arsenic or antimony) results in an n-
	type material.
double-word	Any 32-bit unit of data.
DOUBLE-WORD	An unsigned, 32-bit variable with values from 0
	through 232–1.
EPA	Event processor array. An integrated peripheral that
	provides high-speed input/output capability.
EPROM	Erasable, programmable read-only-memory.
ESD	Electrostatic discharge.
feedthrough	The attenuation from an input voltage on the selected
	channel to the A/D output after the sample window
	closes. The ability of the A/D converter to reject an
	input on its selected channel after the sample window
	closes.
FET	Field-effect transistor.
frequency generator	The 8XC196MD peripheral that generates outputs
	with a fixed 50% duty cycle and a programmable
	frequency. The frequency generator can be used for
	infrared transmission.
