1.6.3

Specifying Bit and Signal Values

The terms set and clear in this specification refer to bit values in register and data

structures. When a bit is set, its value is 1; when the bit is clear, its value is 0. Likewise,

setting a bit means giving it a value of 1 and clearing a bit means giving it a value of 0.
The terms assert and deassert refer to the logically active or inactive value of a signal

or bit, respectively.

1.6.4

Signal Name Conventions

All signal names use the PCI signal name convention of using the “#” symbol at the end

of a signal name to indicate that the signal’s active state occurs when it is at a low

voltage. The absence of the “#” symbol indicates that the signal’s active state occurs

when it is at a high voltage.
