#118637 - How to make a simple process ugly Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Well that errata certainly is depressing. We discussed similar errata for the 8252 (if memory serves... http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=101011 ). It's funny that CLR is a read-modify-write. Saves a few gates I guess.
Motorola does this too with their 8-bit'ers. I'm talking about CLR 0x8000 for example. Read 0x8000, discard value read, write 0x00 to 0x8000. Erik's point is well taken about the documentation. Anything that deviates from the norm should be easy to spot. Some of these data sheets are getting pretty volumnous. GB |
