[0.3.20] 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).

ted
[0.3.40] 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.
