In addition to analog technologies, digital signal processing (DSP) and microcontroller (MCU) semiconductors, TI designs and manufactures semiconductor solutions for analog and digital ...
A classic method for restricting access to shared resources (for example, storage) in a multiprocessing environment. A semaphore is a protected variable (or abstract data type) that can be accessed only by certain operations for testing and incrementing the value of the variable.
Industry:Semiconductors
A portion of a common object file format (COFF) object file that contains information about a section in the file. Each section has its own header. The header points to the section’s starting address, contains the section’s size, and so forth.
Industry:Semiconductors
An on-chip programme that loads and executes programmes received from a host processor through standard memory devices (including EPROM), with and without handshake, or through the serial port to RAM at power up.
Industry:Semiconductors
A clock source signal supplied to the on-chip clock generator at the CLKIN/X2 pin or generated internally by the on-chip oscillator. The clock generator divides or multiplies CLKIN to produce the CPU clock signal (CLKOUT1).
Industry:Semiconductors
A portion of a common object file format (COFF) object file that contains information about the symbols that are defined and used by the file.
Industry:Semiconductors
An on-chip register mapped to an address in memory. Some memory-mapped registers are mapped to data memory, and some are mapped to input/output memory.
Industry:Semiconductors
The final phase of a multi-phase processor pipeline; the phase in which an instruction is executed. See also pipeline.
Industry:Semiconductors
A collection of one or more variables grouped together under a single name.
Industry:Semiconductors
A portion of a common object file format (COFF) object file that the linker uses to perform relocation at download time.
Industry:Semiconductors
An on-chip static RAM (SRAM) that contains current instructions being executed by one of the processors. Cache misses are handled by the transfer controller.
