Section G: Glossary
T
tap
The connection between two blocks of a device created by connecting several blocks/compo-
nents in a series, such as a shift register or resistive voltage divider.
terminal count
The state at which a counter is counted down to zero.
threshold
The minimum value of a signal that can be detected by the system or sensor under consider-
ation.
transistors
The transistor is a solid-state semiconductor device used for amplification and switching, and
has three terminals: a small current or voltage applied to one terminal controls the current
through the other two. It is the key component in all modern electronics. In digital circuits, transis-
tors are used as very fast electrical switches, and arrangements of transistors can function as
logic gates, RAM-type memory, and other devices. In analog circuits, transistors are essentially
used as amplifiers.
tri-state
A function whose output can adopt three states: 0, 1, and Z (high-impedance). The function does
not drive any value in the Z state and, in many respects, may be considered to be disconnected
from the rest of the circuit, allowing another output to drive the same
U
UART
A UART or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter translates between parallel bits of data
and serial bits.
user
The person using the PSoC device and reading this manual.
user modules
Pre-built, pre-tested hardware/firmware peripheral functions that take care of managing and con-
figuring the lower level Analog and Digital PSoC Blocks. User Modules also provide high level
API (Application Programming Interface)
for the peripheral function.
user space
The bank 0 space of the register map. The registers in this bank are more likely to be modified
during normal program execution and not just during initialization. Registers in bank 1 are most
likely to be modified only during the initialization phase of the program.
V
Vdd
A name for a power net meaning "voltage drain." The most positive power supply signal. Usually
5 or 3.3 volts.
volatile
Not guaranteed to stay the same value or level when not in scope.
Vss
A name for a power net meaning "voltage source." The most negative power supply signal.
