active high / active low
Normally, signals are active high, which means a voltage level of 0V represents a logical 0 (LOW) and a voltage of above 5V represents a logical 1 (HIGH). If, for example, an IC pin is named "CS" (chip select), the chip is usually selected by pulling this line to HIGH (5V for TTL), and it gets deselected by pulling it to LOW (0V).
