NMI
A hardware interrupt that uses the same logic as the maskable interrupts but cannot be masked. It is often used as a soft reset. See also maskable interrupt; nonmaskable interrupt.
Industry:Semiconductors
A strip of conductive material attached at one end to earth ground and at the other to a person or an object so that static electricity can dissipate to ground and bypass electronic circuitry. Typically used by people when they are handling discrete electronic components or assemblies that are sensitive to static electricity.
Industry:Semiconductors
A hardware interrupt triggered by a specific value on a pin.
Industry:Semiconductors
A switching of program control to a nonsequential programmemory address.
Industry:Semiconductors
A higher-priority interrupt that must be serviced before completion of the current interrupt service routine (ISR). An executing ISR can set the interrupt mask register (IMR) bits to prevent being suspended by another interrupt.
Industry:Semiconductors
A symbol representing a quantity that can assume any of a set of values.
Industry:Semiconductors
C
A high-level, general-purpose programming language useful for writing compilers and operating systems and for programming microprocessors.
Industry:Semiconductors
A symbol that begins in column 1 of an assembler source statement and corresponds to the address of that statement. A label is the only assembler statement that can begin in column 1.
Industry:Semiconductors
A high-speed local bus that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 132M bytes per second at 33 MHz.
