摘要： A special mode key match comparison module has N-storage elements and a special mode key match comparator. The N-storage elements accumulate a serial data stream, and then determine whether a digital device should operate in a normal user mode, in a public programming mode, or in a particular private test mode. To reduce the possibility of accidentally decoding a false test or programming mode, the data stream has a sufficiently large number of N-bits to substantially reduce the probability of a false decode. To further reduce the possibility of accidentally decoding a programming or test mode, the special mode key match comparison module may be reset if less or more than N-clocks are detected during the accumulation of the N-bit serial data stream. The special mode key match data patterns may represent a normal user mode, a public programming mode, and particular private manufacturer test modes.

摘要： An electronic circuit includes a non-volatile memory on an integrated circuit that has several memory cells. The cells each have a voltage state and a gate. A gate bias circuit on the integrated circuit is coupled to the gates of the memory cells. The gate bias circuit includes at least a read voltage and a margin voltage. A detection circuit on the integrated circuit is coupled to the cells. The detection circuit includes a comparator and a reference voltage. The reference voltage and the voltage state of one of the cells are coupled to the comparator. The detection circuit includes an output generating a signal corresponding to the comparator output. The integrated circuit includes a monitor circuit. The monitor circuit is coupled to the output of the detection circuit and determines whether the voltage state of the cell transitions between application of the read and margin voltages to the gate.

摘要： 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.
