8XC196MC, MD, MH USER’S MANUAL

PWM

Pulse-width modulated (outputs). The 8XC196Mx

 

devices have several options for producing PWM

 

outputs: the generic pulse-width modulator modules,

 

the waveform generator, and the EPA with or without

 

the PTS. The 8XC196MD also has a frequency

 

generator that produces PWM outputs.

quantizing error

An unavoidable A/D conversion error that results

 

simply from the conversion of a continuous voltage to

 

its integer digital representation. Quantizing error is

 

always ± 0.5 LSB and is the only error present in an

 

ideal A/D converter.

RALU

Register arithmetic-logic unit. A part of the CPU that

 

consists of the ALU, the PSW, the master PC, the

 

microcode engine, a loop counter, and six registers.

repeatability error

The difference between corresponding code

 

transitions from different actual characteristics taken

 

from the same converter on the same channel with the

 

same temperature, voltage, and frequency conditions.

 

The amount of repeatability error depends on the

 

comparator’s ability to resolve very similar voltages

 

and the extent to which random noise contributes to

 

the error.

reserved memory

A memory location that is reserved for factory use or

 

for future expansion. Do not use a reserved memory

 

location except to initialize it with FFH.

resolution

The number of input voltage levels that an A/D

 

converter can unambiguously distinguish between.

 

The number of useful bits of information that the

 

converter can return.

sample capacitor

A small (2–3 pF) capacitor used in the A/D converter

 

circuitry to store the input voltage on the selected

 

input channel.

sample delay

The time period between the time that A/D converter

 

receives the “start conversion” signal and the time

 

that the sample capacitor is connected to the selected

 

channel.

sample delay uncertainty

The variation in the sample delay.
