Motorola MVME1603 Installation And Use Manual page 4

Throughout this manual, a convention is used which precedes data and address parameters
by a character identifying the numeric format as follows:
$ dollar
% percent
& ampersand
Unless otherwise specified, all address references are in hexadecimal.
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which are level-significant denotes that the
signal is true or valid when the signal is low.
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which 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:
A byte is eight bits, numbered 0 through 7, with bit 0 being the least significant.
A half word is 16 bits, numbered 0 through 15, with bit 0 being the least significant.
A word is 32 bits, numbered 0 through 31, with bit 0 being the least significant.
A double word is 64 bits, numbered 0 through 63, with bit 0 being the least significant.
