GUIDE TO THIS MANUAL
Reserved Bits Reserved bits are not used in this device, but they may be used in
future implementations. Follow these guidelines to ensure
compatibility with future devices:
• Avoid any software dependence on the state of undefined
register bits.
• Use a read-modify-write sequence to load registers.
• Mask undefined bits when testing the values of defined bits.
• Do not depend on the state of undefined bits when storing
undefined bits to memory or to another register.
• Do not depend on the ability to retain information written to
undefined bits.
Set and Clear The terms set and clear refer to the value of a bit or the act of giving
it a value. If a bit is set, its value is “1”; setting a bit gives it a “1”
value. If a bit is clear, its value is “0”; clearing a bit gives it a “0”
value.
