    摘要: A data processor (10) and method which provides show-cycles on a fast multiplexed bus (28) using two distinct modes of operation. A first mode of operation supports a standard show-cycle on a multiplexed bus for interface to a passive device such as a logic analyzer (100). A second mode of operation supports emulation tools (100) with real-time tracking of control functions using a multiplexed bus. During each of the modes of operation of the data processor (10), both read and write show cycles are supported and are consistently provided in a similar format.

    摘要: An integrated circuit terminal of a data processing system (10) is used to communicate multiplexed signals with an external device. During a reset operation in which a reset signal is asserted, a desired internal clock signal is driven to the integrated circuit terminal such that an emulation system (52) may use the internal clock signal to synchronize an emulation operation. After the reset signal is negated, the emulation system synthesizes the internal clock signal for use during emulation. External visibility of a write operation to a register which controls pertinent signal parameters is provided via other integrated circuit terminals when the data processor operates in an emulation mode. The external visibility allows the development system to make similar changes to corresponding signal parameters therein. Therefore, the development system is able to accurately synchronize an emulation operation even when signal parameters are modified during operation.

    摘要: A mask programmable register (40) determines a default configuration of a data processor during a reset operation. The default configuration is driven to a plurality of external integrated circuit pins (48) of the data processor with weak drivers (528, 534, 540, 546). Then, on an individual pin basis, an external user (11) may choose to allow each integrated circuit pin to remain in a default state or be drive with an external configuration value. When the external user chooses to allow the integrated circuit pin to remain in the default state, an internal default configuration data value provided by the internal mask programmable register is output by the integrated circuit pin. Conversely, when the external user chooses to override the default state, the user may drive the external configuration value to the integrated circuit pin using an external data source.

    摘要: Existing chip select comparator logic (42) is used to compare a portion of the address value with a range of chip select addresses to provide a match signal for use by both the chip select logic (70) and a breakpoint logic circuit (50.x). The match signal is generated by the chip select logic circuit and is reused by the breakpoint logic circuit to perform a different and distinct function. By using the match signal and a breakpoint enable bit, the breakpoint logic circuit selectively asserts a breakpoint signal. Subsequently, a central processing unit (12) receives the breakpoint signal and initiates a breakpoint exception operation to determine whether the breakpoint condition is met and whether further action should be taken.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for performing read accesses from a counter (40) while avoiding the large rollover error that may occur when the counter (40) is read using more than one read access cycle. In one embodiment, the present invention monitors the most significant bit of the lower portion (44) of counter (40) for a transition indicating that a rollover has taken place. If a rollover has not occurred, read accesses take place in the normal manner. However, if a rollover has occurred during the latency period between a read access from the upper portion (42) of counter (40) and a corresponding read access from the lower portion (44) of counter (40), the read access from the lower portion (44) is inhibited and a default value is placed on the bus (36) instead.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for performing multiplexed and non-multiplexed bus cycles in a data processing system (10). The present invention allows a data processing system (10) to switch from multiplexed bus cycles to non-multiplexed bus cycles, and vice-versa, without requiring the data processing system (10) to be reset. In one embodiment of the present invention, a single user programmable control bit (90) is used to select whether an external bus cycle will be multiplexed or non-multiplexed. In more complex embodiments of the present invention, the ability to switch between multiplexed external bus cycles and non-multiplexed external bus cycles may be achieved by way of a plurality of user programmable register fields (96, 100, 102, and 104) located in registers 44. The plurality of user programmable register fields (96, 100, 102, and 104) may be associated with one or more chip select signals.

    摘要: Method and apparatus in a data processing system (10) for selectively inserting bus cycle idle time. The present invention allows a data processing system (10) to selectively insert a predetermined number of idle clocks at the end of a bus cycle. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is a base register (48) and an option register (46) corresponding to each one of the chip select terminals (73). In one embodiment of the present invention, each option register (46) includes a user programmable idle control bit (110). If a first chip select is used to select a peripheral device during a bus cycle to that same peripheral device, the idle control bit (110) which corresponds to the first chip select determines whether or not one or more idle clocks will be inserted after that bus cycle.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for scan testing an array (20) in a data processing system (10). In one form, the present invention uses a scanning sense amplifier (22x) which can perform the three functions of a sense amplifier, a master test latch for scan testing, and a slave test latch for scan testing. Using one scanning sense amplifier (22x) to perform all three functions reduces the amount of circuitry required to scan test an array (20). The same stimulus is applied twice to the array (20); and half of the output data bits are scanned out during each application of the stimulus. One extra output data bit is also scanned out during each application of the stimulus. The end result is a reduction in the circuitry required to perform scan testing.

    摘要: A process (601-611) and implementing computer system (13) for selecting a specific logic circuit among a group of otherwise acceptable alternative circuits, as represented by prime implicant terms (607), includes determining and assigning a power consumption factor (609) to each of the alternative logic circuit implementations. In the disclosed example, the probability of switching logic states (313, 513) is determined and used as a measure of the power consumption factor associated with each of the acceptable and valid prime implicant solutions for a given logic function. From a group of acceptable prime implicant solutions, the power optimum solution is chosen (611) which has been determined to be the most likely to consume the least amount of power in implementing the desired logic function.
