Number Conventions
Unless otherwise specified, numbers are represented as follows:
• Hexadecimal numbers are identified by an “h” suffix on the number (2Ah, 12h) or an ‘0x’ prefix.
• Binary numbers are identified by a “b” suffix on the number (0011b). Values for SMBus
transactions in diagrams are listed in binary without the “b” or in hexadecimal without the “h”
• Any other numbers without a suffix are intended as decimal numbers.
