Glossary (continued)
PSoC Designer™ The software for Cypress’ Programmable System-on-Chip technology.
pulse width
An output in the form of duty cycle which varies as a function of the applied measurand
modulator (PWM)
RAM
An acronym for random access memory. A data-storage device from which data can be read out and new data
can be written in.
register
A storage device with a specific capacity, such as a bit or byte.
reset
A means of bringing a system back to a know state. See hardware reset and software reset.
ROM
An acronym for read only memory. A data-storage device from which data can be read out, but new data cannot
be written in.
serial
1. Pertaining to a process in which all events occur one after the other.
2. Pertaining to the sequential or consecutive occurrence of two or more related activities in a single device or
channel.
settling time
The time it takes for an output signal or value to stabilize after the input has changed from one value to another.
shift register
A memory storage device that sequentially shifts a word either left or right to output a stream of serial data.
slave device
A device that allows another device to control the timing for data exchanges between two devices. Or when
devices are cascaded in width, the slave device is the one that allows another device to control the timing of data
exchanges between the cascaded devices and an external interface. The controlling device is called the master
device.
SRAM
An acronym for static random access memory. A memory device where you can store and retrieve data at a high
rate of speed. The term static is used because, after a value is loaded into an SRAM cell, it remains unchanged
until it is explicitly altered or until power is removed from the device.
SROM
An acronym for supervisory read only memory. The SROM holds code that is used to boot the device, calibrate
circuitry, and perform Flash operations. The functions of the SROM may be accessed in normal user code,
operating from Flash.
stop bit
A signal following a character or block that prepares the receiving device to receive the next character or block.
synchronous
1. A signal whose data is not acknowledged or acted upon until the next active edge of a clock signal.
2. A system whose operation is synchronized by a clock signal.
tri-state
A function whose output can adopt three states: 0, 1, and Z (high-impedance). The function does not drive any
value in the Z state and, in many respects, may be considered to be disconnected from the rest of the circuit,
allowing another output to drive the same net.
UART
A UART or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter translates between parallel bits of data and serial bits.
user modules
Pre-build, pre-tested hardware/firmware peripheral functions that take care of managing and configuring the lower
level Analog and Digital PSoC Blocks. User Modules also provide high level API (Application Programming
Interface) for the peripheral function.
user space
The bank 0 space of the register map. The registers in this bank are more likely to be modified during normal
program execution and not just during initialization. Registers in bank 1 are most likely to be modified only during
the initialization phase of the program.
