The highest order bit in a word. The plural form (MSBs) refers to a specified number of high-order bits, beginning with the highest order bit and counting to the right. For example, the eight MSBs of a 16-bit value are bits 15 through 8.
Industry:Semiconductors
A common object file format (COFF) section that reserves space in the memory map but that has no actual contents. These sections are built with the .bss and .usect directives.
Industry:Semiconductors
A processor-dependent bus used to access instructions from on-chip static RAM (SRAM). The parallel processors each use a 64-bit instruction bus, and the master processor uses a 32-bit instruction bus.
Industry:Semiconductors
An output file created by the assembler that lists source statements, their line numbers, any unresolved symbols or opcodes, and their effects on the section programme counter (SPC).
Industry:Semiconductors
A common rectangular chip housing with leads (pins) on both long sides.
Industry:Semiconductors
A programme control feature that allows you to extend the hardware stack into data memory with the PSHD and POPD instructions.
The stack can be directly stored and recovered from data memory, one word at time. This feature is useful for deep subroutine nesting or protection against stack overflow.
Industry:Semiconductors
An output file created by the assembler that lists the symbols it defined, what line they were defined on, which lines referenced them, and their final values.
Industry:Semiconductors
The interval of a video waveform between the start of blanking and the corresponding sync pulse. The horizontal front porch is specified as an integral number of frame clock (FCLK) periods; the vertical front porch is specified as an integral number of lines (halflines for interlaced mode). See also back porch.
Industry:Semiconductors
A compiler tool that takes the file produced by the parser or the optimizer and produces an assembly language source file.
Industry:Semiconductors
A programme element that executes concurrently with other programme elements in a multitasking system.
