Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

STB bit

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

Stop bit selector. A bit within the asynchronous serial port control register (ASPCR) that selects the number of stop bits (one or two) used in transmission and reception.

TEC

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

Texas Instruments embedded gate array. A gate array embedded with a hardware macro.

Status bit

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A bit in a status word or register that contains a single piece of status information.

Supervisor mode

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A mode in which the master processor (MP) has write access to all control registers and can write into the MP parameter RAM.

Section programme counter (SPC)

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

An element in the assembler that keeps track of the current location within a section; each section has its own SPC.

Exception flag

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A bit in a task’s exception register that indicates the status of a particular type of exception.

Time slicing

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A method of multitasking in which each task is allotted a maximum amount of execution time, referred to as a time slice or quantum, before the next task is allowed to run.
