Another name for the asynchronous serial port.
Industry:Semiconductors
The main arithmetic logic unit for the CPU that performs arithmetic and logic operations. It accepts a value for operations, and its output is held in the accumulator.
Industry:Semiconductors
A condition in which the instruction that the processor fetches is available in the cache.
Industry:Semiconductors
The main circuit board that contains the processor, main memory, circuitry, bus controller, connectors, and primary components of the computer. The TMS320C8x software development board (SDB) is connected to the motherboard through the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) local bus. Depending upon the computer system design, daughter boards, expansion boards, input/output boards, other boards, or additional memory may also be connected to the motherboard using the bus controller.
Industry:Semiconductors
A condition in which the master processor’s floating-point multiply unit is stalled or its pipeline is full; therefore, the unit cannot accept a new instruction.
Industry:Semiconductors
A pseudoregister in the debugger that shows the number of CPU cycles consumed during benchmarking.
Industry:Semiconductors
Any entity capable of sending and receiving messages, such as a processor port.
Industry:Semiconductors
The master processor register that points to the instruction currently in the fetch stage of the pipeline.
Industry:Semiconductors
A condition in which the receive FIFO buffer of the port is full and another word is received in the receive shift register (RSR). (None of the contents of the FIFO buffer are overwritten by this new word.)
