pullup — A transistor in the output of a logic gate that connects the
output to the logic 1 voltage of the power supply.
pulse-width — The amount of time a signal is on as opposed to being
in its off state.
pulse-width modulation (PWM) — Controlled variation (modulation) of
the pulse width of a signal with a constant frequency.
push — An instruction that copies the contents of the accumulator to the
stack RAM. The stack RAM address is in the stack pointer.
PWM period — The time required for one complete cycle of a PWM
waveform.
RAM — Random access memory. All RAM locations can be read or
written by the CPU. The contents of a RAM memory location remain
valid until the CPU writes a different value or until power is turned off.
RC circuit — A circuit consisting of capacitors and resistors having a
defined time constant.
read — To copy the contents of a memory location to the accumulator.
register — A circuit that stores a group of bits.
reserved memory location — A memory location that is used only in
special factory-test modes. Writing to a reserved location has no
effect. Reading a reserved location returns an unpredictable value.
reset — To force a device to a known condition.
ROM — Read-only memory. A type of memory that can be read but
cannot be changed (written). The contents of ROM must be specified
before manufacturing the MCU.
SCI — See serial communication interface module (SCI).
serial — Pertaining to sequential transmission over a single line.
serial communication interface module (SCI) — A module in the
M68HC08 Family that supports asynchronous communication.
serial peripheral interface module (SPI) — A module in the M68HC08
Family that supports synchronous communicaton.
