Fractional Convention

Fractional numbers include subinteger components less than ±1. Whereas
decimal fractions appear to the right of a decimal point, binary fractions
appear to the right of a binal point.
In DSP instructions that assume placement of a binal point, for example
in computing sign bits for normalization or for alignment purposes, the
binal point convention depends on the size of the register being used as
shown in
Table 1-4
This processor does not represent fractional values in 8-bit
registers.
