Texas Instruments (TI) designs and manufactures analog and digital semiconductor IC products for the world market. In addition to analog technologies, digital signal processing (DSP) and microcontroller (MCU) semiconductors, TI designs and manufactures semiconductor solutions for analog and digital ...
Software that enables computer hardware to communicate with a device. A device driver may also translate data and call other drivers to actually send data to a device. The software development board (SDB) uses a device driver for Windows NT to ensure communication between the host and the SDB.
Industry:Semiconductors
A 32-bit word in a parallel processor’s parameter RAM in which it places messages to clients (chiefly, the master processor).
Industry:Semiconductors
An advanced digital signal processor that is used for video compression/decompression (P_64 or MPEG), still-image compression/decompression (JPEG), 2-D and 3-D graphic functions such as line draw, trapezoid fill, antialiasing, and a variety of high-speed integer operations on image data. A ’C8x single-chip multiprocessor device may contain from one to eight parallel processors, depending on the device version.
Industry:Semiconductors
Specific multiplexer setting combinations that cause the same arithmetic logic unit (ALU) function to perform various distinct operations by controlling the routing of operands to the ALU. Eight operation classes are supported by the base set of ALU operations.
Industry:Semiconductors
A method of filling the low- or high-order bits with zeros when loading a 16-bit number into a 32-bit field.
Industry:Semiconductors
An aggressive level of optimization where all of the source files are compiled into one intermediate file. Because the compiler can see the entire program, several optimizations are performed with program-level optimization that are rarely applied during filelevel optimization.
Industry:Semiconductors
Standard ANSI functions that perform tasks that are not part of the C language (such as memory allocation, string conversion, and string searches).
Industry:Semiconductors
A 40-bit register used primarily for extendedprecision floating-point calculations. Floating-point operations use bits 39–0 of an extended-precision register. Integer operations, however, use only bits 31–0.
Industry:Semiconductors
A method of indirect addressing that allows efficient I/O operations by resequencing the data points in a radix-2 fast Fourier transform (FFT) program. The direction of carry propagation in the auxiliary register arithmetic unit (ARAU) is reversed.
