Introduction
1.1 Terminology
A ‘#’ symbol after a signal name refers to an active low signal, indicating a signal is in
the asserted state when driven to a low level. For example, when RESET# is low, a
reset has been requested. Conversely, when NMI is high, a nonmaskable interrupt has
occurred. In the case of signals where the name does not imply an active state but
describes part of a binary sequence (such as address or data), the ‘#’ symbol implies
that the signal is inverted. For example, D[3:0] = ‘HLHL’ refers to a hex ‘A’, and
D[3:0]# = ‘LHLH’ also refers to a hex ‘A’ (H= High logic level, L= Low logic level).
Commonly used terms are explained here for clarification:
• Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series – Intel 64-bit microprocessor
