Asserted Active-high (positive true) signals are asserted when in the high electrical
state (near power potential). Active-low (negative true) signals are asserted
when in the low electrical state (near ground potential).

Deasserted A signal is deasserted when in the inactive state. Active-low signal names
have “_L” appended to the end of the signal mnemonic. Active-high signal
names have no “_L” suffix. To reduce confusion when referring to active-high
and active-low signals, the terms one/zero, high/low, and true/false are not
used when describing signal states.
