Blanks or commas can be used to separate individual names in this list,
therefore bussed signals cannot have names containing a blank or
comma.
A range of numbered signals can be specified using the following
formats:
D0..7 or D0..D7
is equivalent to
D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7
D15..0
is equivalent to
D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 E D0
D15..D00
is equivalent to
D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D09 D08 D07 Es D00
Note that the “..” format implies that bussed signal names cannot
contain periods.
The signals specified will always appear in the order given in this list
from top to bottom in standard orientation. We recommend always
specifying numbered signals from lowest-numbered to highest, as in
the first example above, since this matches the standard library
symbols.
There is no fixed limit on the number of signals in a bus, but we
recommend dividing busses up by function (i.e., address, data, control,
etc.) for ease of editing.
The same signal name can appear multiple times in the list, if desired.
In this case, these pins will be connected together through the bus.
Any combination of arbitrarily-named signals can be included in the
list, as in the following examples:
