Data Sheet Conventions
OVERBAR Used to indicate a signal that is active when pulled low (For example, the RESET pin is active when
low.)
“asserted” Means that a high true (active high) signal is high or that a low true (active low) signal is low
“deasserted” Means that a high true (active high) signal is low or that a low true (active low) signal is high
Examples: Signal/Symbol Logic State Signal State Voltage
PIN True Asserted VIL/VOL
PIN False Deasserted VIH/VOH
PIN True Asserted VIH/VOH
PIN False Deasserted VIL/VOL
Note: Values for VIL, VOL, VIH, and VOH are defined by individual product specifications.
