The following notations may be used throughout this manual:
# -
The pound symbol (#) appended to a signal name indicates that the signal is active
low.
Variables -
Variables are shown in italics. Variables must be replaced with correct

Hexadecimal numbers are represented by a string of hexadecimal digits
followed by the character “h”. A zero prefix is added to numbers that begin with A
through F. For example, FF is shown as 0FFh. Decimal and binary numbers are
represented by their customary notations. That is, 255 is a decimal number and 1111
1111 is a binary number. In some cases, the character “b” is added for clarity.
Signal Names -
Signal names are shown in uppercase. When several signals share a
common name, an individual signal is represented by the signal name followed by a
number, while the group is represented by the signal name followed by a variable (n).
For example, the lower chip-select signals are named CS0#, CS1#, CS2#, and so on;
