Manual Conventions and Terminology
Extents: Extents are specified by a single number or a pair of numbers in square
brackets ([ ]) separated by a colon (:), and are inclusive. For example, bits [7:3]
specify an extent including bits 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3. Multiple bit fields are shown as
extents.
Register Figures: Register figures have bit and field position numbering starting at
the right (low-order) and increasing to the left (high-order).
Signal Names: All signal names are printed in boldface type. Signal names that
originate in an industry-standard specification, such as PCI or IDE, are printed in the
case as found in the specification (usually uppercase). Active low signals have either
a pound sign “#” appended, or a “not” overscore bar; for example, DEVSEL# and
RESET
.
Italic Type: Italic type emphasizes important information and indicates complete
titles of documents.
