"microprocessor microcircuit"--
A "monolithic integrated circuit" or "multichip integrated circuit" containing an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) capable of executing a series of general purpose instructions from an external storage.
N.B.
The "microprocessor microcircuit" normally does not contain integral user-accessible storage, although storage present on-the-chip may be used in performing its logic function.
"microprogramme"---
A sequence of elementary instructions, maintained in a special storage, the execution of which is initiated by the introduction of its reference instruction into an instruction register.
"module"-
A number of electronic components (i.e. "Circuit elements", "discrete components", integrated circuits etc.) connected together to perform (a) specific function(s), replaceable as an entity and not normally capable of being disassembled.
"monolithic integrated circuits"-
A combination of passive or active "circuit elements" or both which:
(a) Are formed by means of diffusion processes, implantation processes or deposition processes in or on a single semiconducting piece of material, a so-called "chip":
(b) Can be considered as indivisibly associated; and
(c) Perform the function(s) of a circuit.
"multichip integrated circuit"--
Two or more "monolithic integrated circuits" bonded to a common "substrate".
"optical integrated circuit"--
A "monolithic integrated circuit" or a "hybrid integrated circuit", containing one or more parts designed to function as a photosensor or photoemitter or to perform (an) optical or (an) electro-optical function(s).
"programme"--
A sequence of instructions to carry out a process in, or convertible into, a form executable by an electronic computer.
"software"--
A collection of one or more "programmes" or "microprogrammes" fixed in any tangible medium of expression.
"speed"
The time to fetch an operand C and another operand D, both from an external storage outside any work register, add these operands and put the result back in storage. The addressing mode which yields the shortest execution time shall be used. The result of the add operation shall be stored in either the same location as one of the addends or in some other location. This choice shall be made to give the shortest execution time at the highest specified clock frequency.
"speed-power dissipation product"--
The product of the "speed" and the typical power dissipation which shall be taken at the clock frequency used in the "speed" computation. The typical power dissipation may be any of the following, but must be the lowest value specified:
(a) The specified typical internal power dissipation;
(b) One half the maximum internal power dissipation;
(c) The product of the nominal supply voltage and typical total supply current;
(d) One half of the product of the nominal supply voltage and maximum total supply current.
