Appendix B, “Signal Summary,” alphabetically lists the signals described in this chapter.
The l/O designation and a description summary are included for each signal.
Signal Naming Conventions
The following convention is used for signal names throughout this document:
PREFIX1PREFIX2SIGNAME1[SIGNAME2][NEG][(m:n)]
The components of a signal name are as follows:
xPREFIX1 is an uppercase prefix identifying the source of the signal. This prefix
specifies either a unit (for example, CPU) or a type of interface (for example, DCR). If
PREFIX1 specifies the processor block, the signal is considered an output signal.
Otherwise, it is an input signal.
xPREFIX2 is an uppercase prefix identifying the destination of the signal. This prefix
specifies either a unit (for example, CPU) or a type of interface (for example, DCR). If
PREFIX2 specifies the processor block, the signal is considered an input signal.
Otherwise, it is an output signal.
xSIGNAME1 is an uppercase name identifying the primary function of the signal.
xSIGNAME2 is an uppercase name identifying the secondary function of the signal.
x[NEG] is an optional notation that indicates a signal is active low. If this notation is not
use, the signal is active high.
x[m:n] is an optional notation that indicates a bussed signal. “m” designates the mo st-
significant bit of the bus and “n” designates the least-significant bit of the bus.
Tabl e 2-1 defines the prefixes used in the signal names. The “Location” column in the table
identifies whether the functional unit resides inside or outside the processor block.
