Encode and multiplex, register, and decode and error correction circuitry
An electronic circuit includes a microcontroller processor ( 410 ), a peripheral ( 420 ) coupled with the processor, an endian circuit ( 470 ) coupled with the processor and the peripheral to selectively provide different endianess modes of operation, and a detection circuit ( 140 ) to detect a failure to select a given endianess, whereby inadvertent switch of endianess due to faults is avoided. Other circuits, devices, systems, methods of operation and processes of manufacture are also disclosed.
1. An electronic circuit comprising:
(A) a data in lead carrying a binary data signal;
(B) encode and multiplex circuitry having a first input coupled to the data in lead, a second input, a multiplexer control input, and encoded data outputs;
(C) register circuitry having data inputs coupled to the encoded data outputs, a data output for each data input, and a clock input;
(D) decode and error correction circuitry having inputs coupled with the data outputs of the register circuitry, a correction path output coupled to the second input of the encode and multiplex circuitry, and a data output; and
(E) a data out lead coupled to the data output of the decode and error correction circuitry.
2. The circuit of claim 1 including an integrated circuit carrying the data in lead, the encode and multiplex circuitry, the register circuitry, the decode and error correction circuitry, and the data out lead.
3. The circuit of claim 1 in which the register circuitry includes a flip-flop for each data input, each flip-flop having a clock input and including a clock lead coupled to the clock inputs of all of the flip-flops.
4. The circuit of claim 1 including a control lead coupled to the multiplexer control input.
