An electronic circuit includes a microcontroller processor (), a peripheral () coupled with the processor, an endian circuit () coupled with the processor and the peripheral to selectively provide different endianess modes of operation, and a detection circuit () 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.

Endian configuration memory and ECC protecting processor endianess mode circuit

An electronic circuit () includes a first circuit () having an output and operable to give a warning but that has a sensitivity to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event, a second circuit () that is operationally at least sometimes coupled with the output of said first circuit (), whereby subject to some of the sensitivity, and a third circuit () interposed between said first circuit () and said second circuit () and operable to filter out at least one instance of an unnecessary warning so as to reduce the sensitivity to the ESD event.
