    Abstract: A microcontroller apparatus is provided with an instruction set for manipulating the behavior of the microcontroller. The apparatus and system is provided that enables a linearized address space that makes modular emulation possible. Direct or indirect addressing is possible through register files or data memory. Special function registers, including the Program Counter (PC) and Working Register (W), are mapped in the data memory. An orthogonal (symmetrical) instruction set makes possible any operation on any register using any addressing mode. Consequently, two file registers to be used in some two operand instructions. This allows data to be moved directly between two registers without going through the W register. Thus increasing performance and decreasing program memory usage.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for testing a high speed microcontroller fabricated on a semiconductor chip, and for testing relatively low speed functions of a liquid crystal display (LCD) module on the chip that drives an off-chip LCD for an external system to be controlled by the microcontroller with a plurality of discrete analog voltage levels for performing the LCD functions. Digital values are multiplexed in time slots of a test waveform to simulate in high speed digital format of a test mode the low speed timing, relative magnitude and functionality of analog voltage levels used to drive the LCD; A high speed driver is selectively coupled to a pin of the chip, to which the discrete analog voltage levels are normally applied at low speed to drive the LCD, and the test waveform is applied to the high speed driver. The digital values and timing that appear on the pin are then monitored as an indication of proper functionality of the LCD module. The high speed driver is switched out and the normal low speed LCD driver is switched back for return to an LCD user mode when the test mode is completed. Monitoring the pin with a digital tester allows verification that pin pulses in predetermined time slots indicate the corresponding analog voltage level is being applied at the proper time during normal operation of the LCD module, and digitally testing of continuity in an analog channel. A transistor normally employed on the chip for electrostatic discharge protection is activated to selectively couple the high speed driver to the pin for the high speed testing mode.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for controlling the updating of a random access memory (RAM) that stores data for coding the activation of segments of one or more alphanmeric characters of a liquid crystal display (LCD), to maintain substantially a direct current (DC) voltage value of zero across transparent conductive plates of the LCD, is performed or provided in a microcontroller having internal LCD control capabilities. A type B waveform is employed for activating the LCD, the waveform being of a type in which data is transmitted over two frames, the data in the second frame of which is the inverse of data in the first frame thereof to maintain an average DC voltage value over each two-frame portion of the waveform at substantially zero volt. The RAM is allowed to be written to for updating the data therein only after completion of an entire two-frame portion of the waveform and before commencement of a new two-frame portion, to avoid a non-zero average DC voltage across the LCD glass during a two-frame portion. An error bit is set whenever an attempt is made to write to the RAM at times other than between the end of a two-frame portion and the commencement of a new two-frame portion. A response to the error bit is made by returning to the write step that prompted it, to determine whether all of the data intended to be written has been stored in the RAM.
