Record #6873

Problem Title:
Libraries Guide: CB2CLED, CB4CLED, CB8CLED, CB16CLED truth table is incorrect for TC and CEO outputs



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

The truth table given in the Libraries Guide for the CBxCLED modules is
incorrect. When CLR = 1, the outputs TC and CEO are not necessarily 0, as
reported in the truth table.



Solution 1:

Solution:

By looking at the implementation of these macros, it is seen that the CLR line
has no direct effect on either of the outputs TC or CEO.

The truth table given for these macros in the Libraries Guide is:

if CLR=1, then
    TC = 0
    CEO = 0

However, this is incorrect. The outputs TC and CEO are driven by the equations, even if CLR = 1. These are:

TC = (UP * Q0 * Q1 * ... QN) + !(UP * Q0 * Q1 ... QN)
CEO = TC * CE

Thus, the proper truth table is:

if CLR = 1, then
     TC = !UP
     CEO = !UP * CE

For all other operations of this macro, refer to the truth table given in the
Libraries Guide.
