    Abstract: A controller offers various security modes for protecting program code and data stored in memory and ensuring that the protection is effective during all normal operating conditions of the controller. The controller includes configuration settings that segment program memory into a boot segment, a secure segment and a general segment, each with a particular level of security including no enhanced protection. The boot code segment (BS) is the most secure and may be used to store a secure boot loader. The secure code segment (SS) is useful for storing proprietary algorithms from third parties, such as algorithms for separating ambient noise from speech in speech recognition applications. The general code segment (GS) has the least security. The controller is configured to prevent program flow changes that would result in program code stored in high security segments from being accessed by program code stored in lower security segments. In addition, the processor may be configured to have associated secure data portions of both program memory, such as flash memory, and random access memory (RAM) corresponding to the BS, SS and GS. Attempts 15 to read data from or write data to the program memory or RAM associated with a higher security level from a lower security level are prevented from occurring.

    Abstract: A successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) having a sample, hold and convert amplifier circuit may be configured for either a single channel SAR ADC or a multiple channel SAR ADC. Switches or metal connection options, e.g., bit configurable or metal mask configurable, respectively, may be used to configure a common capacitor area, a portion of which may be used as a reconfigurable charge-redistribution digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) of the SAR ADC as either a single channel sample, hold and convert 12-bit capacitor configuration or a four channel sample, hold and convert 10-bit capacitor configuration. All other parts of the SAR ADC circuitry may be substantially the same for either configuration, e.g., the resistive digital-to-analog converter (RDAC), successive approximation register (SAR), ADC controller, sample, hold and convert switches, comparator, etc, may be substantially the same for either the single or multiple channel SAR ADC configurations.

    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to functional pathway configurations at the interfaces between integrated circuits (ICs) and the circuit assemblies with which the ICs communicate. More particularly, the present invention relates generally to the functional pathway configuration at the interface between one or more semiconductor integrated circuit dice, including an IC package and the circuitry of a system wherein the integrated circuit dice is a digital signal controller. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to a 18, 28, 40, 44, 64 or 80 pin functional pathway configuration for the interface between the digital signal controller and the system in which it is embedded.
