    摘要: An integrated circuit containing a data processing system with a number of external peripheral pins utilizes the peripheral pins for both testing the corresponding peripherals and for parallel testing of other complex functions in a MCU. The MCU has a plurality of test modes that can be selected, with different peripheral pins being connected to a test circuit depending on which test mode is selected. This allows testing of peripherals via their corresponding pins, as well as other complex functions without the necessity of having dedicated test pins.

    摘要: Systems and methods for electronically converting an analog signal to a digital signal are disclosed. The systems and methods may include, for a first bit value, setting a first conversion value to include a first offset; using the output of a first comparison, setting a second conversion value; and if the first bit value has a predetermined relationship to the first offset bit value, removing the first offset from the second conversion value, and, using the output of a second comparison, setting a third conversion value.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for preventing a data processing system (10) from entering a non-recoverable state. In one form, the present invention uses a pin (40) to indicate whether or not the execution of a non-recoverable instruction is legal. If the pin indicates that the execution of the instruction is legal, then the instruction is executed and the data processing system (10) is placed into a state that requires an external stimulus in order to recover. If the pin indicates that the execution of the instruction is illegal, then the instruction is not permitted to place the data processing system (10) into a state that requires an external stimulus in order to recover. Instead, an internal recovery mechanism is provided which returns the data processing system (10) to normal processing.
