PES48H12G2 User Manual
Chapter 17, "Switch Control and Status Registers," lists the switch control and status registers in the
PES48H12G2 and provides a description of each bit in those registers.
Chapter 18, "JTAG Boundary Scan," discusses an enhanced JTAG interface, including a system logic
TAP controller, signal definitions, a test data register, an instruction register, and usage considerations.

Signal Nomenclature

To avoid confusion when dealing with a mixture of "active-low" and "active-high" signals, the terms
assertion and negation are used. The term assert or assertion is used to indicate that a signal is active or
true, independent of whether that level is represented by a high or low voltage. The term negate or negation
is used to indicate that a signal is inactive or false.
To define the active polarity of a signal, a suffix will be used. Signals ending with an 'N' should be inter-
preted as being active, or asserted, when at a logic zero (low) level. All other signals (including clocks,
buses and select lines) will be interpreted as being active, or asserted when at a logic one (high) level.
To define buses, the most significant bit (MSB) will be on the left and least significant bit (LSB) will be on
the right. No leading zeros will be included.
Throughout this manual, when describing signal transitions, the following terminology is used. Rising
edge indicates a low-to-high (0 to 1) transition. Falling edge indicates a high-to-low (1 to 0) transition. These
terms are illustrated in Figure 1.

Numeric Representations

To represent numerical values, either decimal, binary, or hexadecimal formats will be used. The binary
format is as follows: 0bDDD, where "D" represents either 0 or 1; the hexadecimal format is as follows:
0xDD, where "D" represents the hexadecimal digit(s); otherwise, it is decimal.
The compressed notation ABC[x|y|z]D refers to ABCxD, ABCyD, and ABCzD.
The compressed notation ABC[x..y]D refers to ABCxD, ABC(x+1)D, ABC(x+2)D,... ABCyD.
