uppercase or lowercase.
Hexadecimal numbers are represented by a string of hexadecimal digits
followed by the character H. A zero prefix is added to numbers that begin
with A through F. (For example, FF is shown as 0FFH.) Decimal and binary
numbers are represented by their customary notations (i.e., 255 is a
decimal number and 1111 is a binary number; in some cases, the letter B
is added for clarity).
The following abbreviations are used to represent units of measure:
A amps, amperes
gigabytes
gigabits
giga transfers
kilobytes
kilo-ohms
milliamps, mill amperes
megabytes
megahertz
milliseconds
Mega Transfers
milliwatts
nanoseconds
picofarads
watts
V volts
microamps, microamperes
microfarads
microseconds
microwatts
Signal names are shown in uppercase. When several signals share a
common name, an individual signal is represented by the signal name
followed by a number, while the group is represented by the signal name
followed by a variable (n). For example, the lower chip-select signals are
named CS0#, CS1#, CS2#, and so on; they are collectively called CSn#.
A pound symbol (#) appended to a signal name identifies an active-low
signal. Port pins are represented by the port abbreviation, a period, and
the pin number (e.g., P1.0).
