oscillator
A circuit that may be crystal controlled and is used to generate a clock frequency.
output
The electrical signal or signals which are produced by an analog or digital block.
P
parallel
The means of communication in which digital data is sent multiple bits at a time, with each simul-
taneous bit being sent over a separate line.
parameter
Characteristics for a given block that have either been characterized or may be defined by the
designer.
parameter block
A location in memory where parameters for the SSC instruction are placed prior to execution.
parity
A technique for testing transmitting data. Typically, a binary digit is added to the data to make the
sum of all the digits of the binary data either always even (even parity) or always odd (odd par-
ity).
path
1. The logical sequence of instructions executed by a computer.
2. The flow of an electrical signal through a circuit.
pending interrupts
An interrupt that is triggered but is not serviced, either because the processor is busy servicing
another interrupt or global interrupts are disabled.
phase
The relationship between two signals, usually the same frequency, that determines the delay
between them. This delay between signals is either measured by time or angle (degrees).
Phase-Locked Loop
(PLL)
An electronic circuit that controls an
so that it maintains a constant phase angle rela-
tive to a reference signal.
pin
A terminal on a hardware component. Also called lead.
pinouts
The pin number assignment: the relation between the logical inputs and outputs of the enCoRe
V device and their physical counterparts in the printed circuit board (PCB) package. Pinouts
involve pin numbers as a link between schematic and PCB design (both being computer gener-
ated files) and may also involve pin names.
port
A group of pins, usually eight.
positive edge
A transition from a logic 0 to a logic 1. Also known as a rising edge.
posted interrupts
An interrupt that has been detected by the hardware but may or may not be enabled by its mask
bit. Posted interrupts that are not masked become pending interrupts.
