applications with the device.
Document Conventions
This document uses the following conventions.
Non-differential Signal Notation
Non-differential signals are either active-low or active-high. An active-low signal has an active state of
logic 0 (or the lower voltage level), and is denoted by a lowercase “_b”. An active-high signal has an
active state of logic 1 (or the higher voltage level), and is not denoted by a special character. The
following table illustrates the non-differential signal naming convention.
Differential Signal Notation
Differential signals consist of pairs of complement positive and negative signals that are measured at
the same time to determine a signal’s active or inactive state (they are denoted by “_p” and “_n”,
respectively). The following table illustrates the differential signal naming convention.
