Manual Terminology
Throughout this manual, a convention is used which precedes data
and address parameters by a character identifying the numeric
format as follows:
Unless otherwise specified, all address references are in
hexadecimal.
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which are level
significant denotes that the signal is true or valid when the signal is
low.
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which are edge
significant denotes that the actions initiated by that signal occur on
high to low transition.
In this manual, assertion and negation are used to specify forcing a
signal to a particular state. In particular, assertion and assert refer
to a signal that is active or true; negation and negate indicate a
signal that is inactive or false. These terms are used independently
of the voltage level (high or low) that they represent.
Data and address sizes are defined as follows:
❏ A byte is eight bits, numbered 0 through 7, with bit 0 being
the least significant
❏ A word is 16 bits, numbered 0 through 15, with bit 0 being the
least significant
❏ A longword is 32 bits, numbered 0 through 31, with bit 0
being the least significant
