    摘要: A controller offers various security modes for protecting program code and data stored in memory and ensuring that the protection is effective during all normal operating conditions of the controller. The controller includes configuration settings that segment program memory into a boot segment, a secure segment and a general segment, each with a particular level of security including no enhanced protection. The boot code segment (BS) is the most secure and may be used to store a secure boot loader. The secure code segment (SS) is useful for storing proprietary algorithms from third parties, such as algorithms for separating ambient noise from speech in speech recognition applications. The general code segment (GS) has the least security. The controller is configured to prevent program flow changes that would result in program code stored in high security segments from being accessed by program code stored in lower security segments. In addition, the processor may be configured to have associated secure data portions of both program memory, such as flash memory, and random access memory (RAM) corresponding to the BS, SS and GS. Attempts to read data from or write data to the program memory or RAM associated with a higher security level from a lower security level are prevented from occurring.

    摘要: Apparatus for providing multiple of discrete voltage levels to drive a liquid crystal display (LCD) from an LCD module on board a microcontroller chip includes a charge pump with a switched-capacitor that develops the discrete voltages as multiples of the value of a base voltage that remains substantially without change irrespective of change in the supply voltage. A switched-capacitor charging circuit selectively charges a capacitor to produce successive additive charges individually retrievable from the capacitor. An LCD drive selectively transmits the discrete voltage levels to activate the LCD according to status of an external system under the control of the microcontroller. Voltage losses that may occur during the switched-capacitor charging are compensated to maintain the levels of the discrete voltages free of decay. Compensation is achieved by overcharging the capacitor by an amount substantially equivalent to the amount of voltage loss on the capacitor, using active feedback obtained from monitoring the charge on the capacitor.

    摘要: A device including a microcontroller fabricated on a semiconductor chip is used to control an LCD display of an external system intended to be controlled by the microcontroller. The microcontroller enters a sleep state in which it operates in a battery power conservation mode during periods of time when functional activity of the microcontroller is reduced. The microcontroller awakens from the sleep state for resumption of activity when such a period ends. Timing to the LCD is decoupled from the microcontroller's own internal clock when the independent internal on-chip clock, which may be an RC oscillator, is selected by the user of the device. This allows the chip to continue to drive the LCD display even though the microcontroller's internal clock has stopped during the sleep.

    摘要: Peripheral functions of an integrated circuit device may be pooled and dynamically mapped to available external input-output connections of the integrated circuit device by using a set of configuration registers. To provide system robustness, the configuration registers may implement various levels of write protection, error correction and monitoring circuitry. One or more peripheral output functions may be mapped to one or more external output connections. Not more than one output function may be active at the same time on the same output connection. Outputs and inputs may be mapped to the same external input-output connection with or without the output being controllable for placement into an inactive state, e.g., high impedance or open collector. When the input is required to receive external data over the external input-output connection, the output may be placed into the inactive state.
