A collection of techniques for sharing resources so that different uses do not conflict and cause unwanted interactions. One of the most commonly used techniques for mutual exclusion is the semaphore.
Industry:Semiconductors
A portion of the common object file format (COFF) object file that contains general information about the object file, such as the number of section headers, the type of system the object file can be downloaded to, the number of symbols in the symbol table, and the symbol table’s starting address.
Industry:Semiconductors
An operation that allows for direct access of memory and I/O devices. When a HOLD operation is initiated by a HOLD signal, the external buses enter a high-impedance state and the HOLDA signal is asserted. The buses return to their normal state and the HOLD operation is concluded when the host processor deasserts HOLD high.
Industry:Semiconductors
The first stage of the master processor’s fetch, execute, access (FEA) pipeline and the parallel processor’s fetch, address, execute (FAE) pipeline, during which instructions and their operands are fetched.
Industry:Semiconductors
A color space standard in which the luminance (Y) and chrominance (U and V) values are separate components.
Industry:Semiconductors
A portion of the microprocessor’s memory address space reserved for the temporary storage of video data before it is sent to the display monitor. A type of dynamic read access memory that lets the video circuitry serially access the memory bit by bit.
VRAM has separate pins for the processor and video circuitry. It is used in high-speed video applications and is easily interfaced to a video display.
Industry:Semiconductors
An operation that allows you to perform a floating-point operation in parallel with a load or store instruction.
Industry:Semiconductors
The floating point math unit contained in the core of the TMS320C8x’s master reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor.
Industry:Semiconductors
A color television broadcast standard wherein the image consists of a: _ Format that has 525 scan lines _ Field frequency of 60 Hz _ Broadcast bandwidth of 4 MHz _ Line frequency of 15.75 kHz _ Frame frequency of one–thirtieth of a second _ Color subcarrier frequency of 3.58 MHz See also PAL.
Industry:Semiconductors
A positive or negative pulse developed during retrace, appearing at the end of each field; used to blank out scanning lines during the vertical or horizontal retrace interval. See also blanking.
