Bit specification

Bit specification

In computing, bit specification may mean:

* Computer hardware or software capabilities or design features expressed in terms of bit counts. Higher bit specification (e.g. "16-bit" vs. "8-bit") usually indicates better performance. Examples:
** Color depth
** Computer bus size
** Processor register size
** Sound quality
* Specification or datasheet where the meaning of individual bits in a larger, for example byte-length, message is described. Bit specifications are often required to document low-level device control or data transmission protocols. See bit manipulation.

* Functional specification
