For all active-Low signals, the term asserted means the signal is in the Low-voltage state. s Negated-For all active-High signals, the term negated means the signal is in the Low-voltage state. For all active-Low signals, the term negated means the signal is in the High-voltage state. s Sampled-The processor has measured the state of a signal at predefined points in time and will take the appropriate action based on the state of the signal. If a signal is not sampled by the processor, its assertion or negation has no effect on the operation of the processor. Figure 52 on page 84 shows the signals grouped by function. The arrows in the figure indicate the direction of the signal, either into or out of the processor. Signals with double-headed arrows are bidirectional. Signals with pound signs (#) are active Low.

Signal Descriptions

Signal Terminology
The following terminology is used in this chapter:
Driven
—The processor actively pulls the signal up to the
High-voltage state or pulls the signal down to the
Low-voltage state.
Floated
—The the signal is not being driven by the processor
(high-impedance state), which allows another device to
drive this signal.
Asserted
—For all active-High signals, the term
asserted
means the signal is in the High-voltage state. For all
active-Low signals, the term
asserted
means the signal is in
the Low-voltage state.
Negated
—For all active-High signals, the term
negated
means the signal is in the Low-voltage state. For all
active-Low signals, the term
negated
means the signal is in
the High-voltage state.
Sampled
—The processor has measured the state of a signal
at predefined points in time and will take the appropriate
action based on the state of the signal. If a signal is not
sampled by the processor, its assertion or negation has no
effect on the operation of the processor.
Figure 52 on page 84 shows the signals grouped by function. The
arrows in the figure indicate the direction of the signal, either
into or out of the processor. Signals with double-headed arrows
are bidirectional. Signals with pound signs (#) are active Low.
