default value
Pertaining to the pre-defined initial, original, or specific setting, condition, value, or action a sys-
tem assumes, uses, or takes in the absence of instructions from the user.
device
The device referred to in this manual is the enCoRe V chip, unless otherwise specified.
die
An unpackaged Integrated Circuit (IC), normally cut from a wafer.
digital
A signal or function, the amplitude of which is characterized by one of two discrete values: ‘0’ or
‘1’.
digital blocks
The 8-bit logic blocks that can act as a counter, timer, serial receiver, serial transmitter, CRC
generator, pseudo-random number generator, or SPI.
digital logic
A methodology for dealing with expressions containing two-state variables that describe the
behavior of a circuit or system.
digital-to-analog (DAC)
A device that changes a digital signal to an analog signal of corresponding magnitude. The
converter performs the reverse operation.
direct access
The capability to obtain data from a storage device, or to enter data into a storage device, in a
sequence independent of their relative positions by means of addresses that indicate the physi-
cal location of the data.
duty cycle
The relationship of a clock period
, expressed as a percent.
E
emulator
Duplicates (provides an emulation of) the functions of one system with a different system, so that
the second system appears to behave similar to the first system.
External Reset (XRES)
An active high signal that is driven into the enCoRe V device. It causes all operation of the CPU
and blocks to stop and return to a pre-defined state.
F
falling edge
A transition from a logic 1 to a logic 0. Also known as a negative edge.
feedback
The return of a portion of the output, or processed portion of the output, of a (usually active)
device to the input.
filter
A device or process by which certain frequency components of a signal are attenuated.
firmware
The software that is embedded in a hardware device and executed by the CPU. The software
may be executed by the end user but it may not be modified.
flag
Any of various types of indicators used for identification of a condition or event (for example, a
character that signals the termination of a transmission).
Flash
An electrically programmable and erasable, non
technology that provides users with the
programmability and data storage of EPROMs, plus in-system erasability. Nonvolatile means
that the data is retained when power is off.
