Signal Table Terminology

Table 2 below describes the terminology used in this section for the Signal Description tables.

The “#” symbol at the end of the signal name indicates that the active or asserted state
occurs when the signal is at a low voltage level.

When “#” is not present, the signal is asserted

when at a high voltage level.
The terms “Input” and “Output” and their abbreviations in Table 2 below refer to the Module's view, i.e.

an input is an input for the Module and not for the Carrier-Board.
