Abstract: A digital-analog converter incorporates an array of current source cells connected at the output to a load as a function of an input code subdivided into H and V values, which are most significant bit (MSB) and least significant bit (LSB), respectively. The input code is converted into thermometric codes, respectively HT and VT, whose logic inverses are respectively horizontally and vertically routed to the array. Each position cell (h, v) in the array comprises a first and a second P type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor connected in series, and the series is in parallel with at least one third P type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor.

Abstract: A Central Processing Unit (CPU) debugging device and method therefor is disclosed which provides data entering and interrogating devices which will temporarily stop all CPU execution when desired by a user and allow a non-destructive intrusion into the contents of any of the CPU internal registers, state bits, and cache and local memories. After the desired CPU contents have been reviewed and subsequently altered or maintained by a user, the CPU execution may be resumed.
