    Abstract: A system for allowing multiple addressing modes while maximizing a number of available opcodes and addressable registers. The system has a processor architecture scheme which allows for encoding of multiple addressing modes through use of virtual register addresses. The system has an instruction set having a plurality of instructions. Each instruction has a plurality of bits wherein none of the plurality of bits in each of the plurality of instructions are dedicated bits for implementing different addressing modes. Each of the plurality of instructions are able to implement different addressing modes by addressing the virtual register addresses in the processor architecture scheme. Since no bits are required for implementing different addressing modes, the length of the opcode field and the register address field are determined by the number of opcodes and the number of addressable registers the user wishes to implement.

    Abstract: A microcontroller fabricated on a semiconductor chip has an on-chip EPROM program memory with programmable EPROM configuration fuses located in a limited number of addresses of the on-chip program memory, the condition of each of EPROM fuse being defined as blown or not blown according to the value of the bit stored in the respective address of the on-chip program memory. The operating modes of the microcontroller are configurable by appropriately programming at least some of the EPROM fuses. Testing of the microcontroller in at least some of the operating modes is achieved by using latches outside the program memory to emulate the EPROM fuses, while suppressing the capability to set the condition of the EPROM fuses during the testing. Upon completion of the testing, control of the operating modes of the microcontroller is returned to the EPROM fuses, and the latches are precluded from further emulating the EPROM fuses.

    Abstract: A silicon substrate with a drain area formed therein is used for the base of the device. A first polysilicon gate is disposed above the substrate with a layer of gate oxide therebetween. Adjacent to the first gate and contiguous to the same plane is a second polysilicon gate. The second gate and the substrate are separated by a layer of tunnel oxide and silicon nitride. The silicon nitride being used to store a charge. The state of the device is determined by the presence of a capacitance in the substrate generated by the charge on the silicon nitride. This device may function as a nonvolatile memory or a dynamic random access memory with the capability of capturing its DRAM state.

A first mode is a general purpose mode running at least one general purpose process related to the PLD, and a second mode is a fixed function mode emulating a fixed function for use by logic configured into a fabric of the PLD (fabric). A memory unit is coupled to the logic unit and to the fabric, and the fabric is operable for transferring signals with the logic unit in relation to the fixed function.

    Abstract: A system and method for generating a low supply voltage and a high supply voltage from an input voltage, wherein the dependency of the high supply voltage magnitude on the magnitude of the input voltage is removed and the resulting high supply voltage magnitude is a multiple of the low supply voltage magnitude. The low supply voltage and the high voltage may be implemented in a power converter of a communication system comprising a plurality of subscriber line interface circuits (SLICs).
