This section provides a detailed description of each signal. The signals are arranged in functional
groups according to their associated interface.
The “n” symbol in the signal name indicates that the active, or asserted, state occurs when the signal
is at a low voltage level. When “n” is not present before the signal name, the signal is asserted at the
high voltage level.
The terms assertion and negation are used exclusively. This is done to avoid confusion when worki ng
with a mixture of “active low” and “active high” signals. The term assert, or assertion, indi cates that a
signal is active, independent of whether that level is represented by a high or low voltage. The term
negate, or negation, indicates that a signal is ina ctive.

Note 7.1Stresses above the specified parameters may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only and functi onal operation of the device at any condition above
those indicated in the operation sections of this specification is not implied .
Note 7.2When powering this device from laboratory or system power supplies, it is important that
the Absolute Maximum Ratings not be exceeded or device failure can result. Some power
supplies exhibit voltage spikes on their outputs when the AC power is switched on or off.
In addition, voltage transients on the AC power line may appear on the DC output. When
this possibility exists, it is suggested that a clamp circuit be used.
