3720A 
.2-10 The MC  number gives the physical location of 
each  package  in  the  form  of 
a 
grid  reference. 
2-11 With  the  printed circuit board held compon- 
ent  side  uppermost, and tongued connector  near- 
est, 
numbering of the  rows and  columns of  inte 
grated circuits starts from the top left hand corner 
of  the  board.  The  first  figure  following the  MC 
prefix 
gives 
the  row  and  the  second  gives  the 
column.  For  example,  MC52  will 
lie 
in the  5th 
row  down  and  the  2nd  column  across,  whilst 
MC103 will be  in the  10th row and 3rd column. 
2-1 2 The  second  method 
of 
identification  of the 
individual  'component  blocks'  helps  the  circuit 
description and signal flow indication. 
2-13 Each  'block' 
is 
given 
a 
prefix  according  to 
its  function 
(see  Table  2-2  for 
a 
full 
list) and 
a 
number  indicating 
its 
position  on  the  schematic 
diagram, in the same manner 
as 
resistors, capacitors, 
etc, are referenced.

2-14 All 
IC 
leads are  referred to in the same way 
as 
assembly  connections.  For  example,  lead  12  on 
integrated  circuit  MC25,  on  A5  assembly,  is 
referred  to 
as 
A5MC25(12). Similarly  when  de- 
scribing  schematics,  lead 
6 
on  Flip-flop  9  on 
assembly  A2  would  be  referenced  A2FF9(6).
