1.4.1 Units of Measure
Prefixes: K=1024 k=1000.
Bits and Bytes: An upper-case ‘B’ stands for bytes. For example: 1 KB means 1024 bytes.
A lower-case ‘b’ refers to bits (see
1Kb means 1024 bits.
Signals that are active low are designated by a # symbol at the end of the signal name. For example:
P_ACK64#.
1.4.2 Numeric Notation
Hexadecimal values are in single quotation marks and preceded by an x. For example: x‘0B00’.
Undefined hexadecimal values are indicated by a capital X. For example: x’X1’ = undefined on reset.
Binary values are spelled out (zero and one) or appear in single quotation marks and are preceded by b. For
example: b‘0101’.

1.6 Document Nomenclature
Bytes, Words, DWords,
and QWords
When used in this document, the term
byte refers to a field containing eight bits and
the term
word means a field containing sixteen bits or two bytes. Hence, a double
word (abbreviated DWord or DW) contains 32 bits or four bytes, and a quadword
(abbreviated QWord or QW) is made up of 64 bits or eight bytes. These entities are
assumed to be naturally aligned on the appropriate boundary, thus the least signifi-
cant three bits of address of a QWord are zeros.
Bit and Byte Numbering
All bit and byte numbering in this specification is given in “l(fā)ittle endian” notation. Bit
0 is the least significant bit (lsb) and byte 0 is the least significant byte (LSB). Any
exceptions to this will be specifically noted to avoid any confusion. Bit ranges are
given by two numbers separated by a colon and enclosed in parentheses (for
example, (7:0)); the first number in the range indicates the msb or most significant
bit and the last number indicates the lsb.
