GLOSSARY

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).

All interrupts except unimplemented opcode, software trap, and NMI. Maskable interrupts can be disabled (masked) by the individual mask bits in the interrupt mask registers, and their servicing can be disabled by the global interrupt enable bit. Each maskable interrupt can be assigned to the PTS for processing.

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.

Most-significant bit of a byte or most-significant byte of a word.

Afield-effect transistor with an n-type conducting path (channel).

Semiconductor material with introduced impurities (doping) causing it to have an excess of negatively charged carriers.

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.

The maximum deviation of code transitions of the terminal-based characteristic from the corre- sponding code transitions of the ideal characteristic.
