font
This font is used for code examples. All characters are equal width; this is
useful for maintaining accurate character spacing.
UPPERCASE In text, signal names are shown in uppercase. When several signals share a
common name, each signal is represented by the signal name followed by a
number; the group is represented by the signal name followed by a variable
(n). In code examples, signal names are shown in the case required by the
software development tool in use.
Designations for
hexadecimal and
binary numbers
Hexadecimal numbers are represented by a string of hex digits followed by
the letter H. A zero prefix is added to numbers that begin with A through F.
(FF is shown as 0FFH.) For binary numbers, the letter B may be appended
for clarity.
