 | | Information in digital form is normally represented by arbitrarily fixed voltage levels referred to "ground," either occurring at the outputs of logic gates, or applied to their inputs. |
 | | Words are groups of levels representing digital numbers; the levels may appear simultaneously in parallel, on a bus or groups of gate inputs or outputs, serially (or in a time sequence) on a single line, or as a sequence of parallel bytes (i.e., "byte-serial") or nibbles (small bytes). |
 | | For example, a 16-bit word may occupy the 16 bits of a 16-bit bus, or it may be divided into two sequential bytes for an 8-bit bus, or four 4-bit nibbles for a 4-bit bus. |
