Terminology

A character precedes a data or address parameter to specify the numeric format, as follows (if not specified, the format is hexadecimal. An asterisk (#) following a signal name for signals that are level significant denotes that the signal is true or valid when the signal is low.

An asterisk (#) following a signal name for signals that 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:
