A Bit-Breakdown Diagram shows what the individual bits of a word do. It is very common on the SNES for registers to pack more than one value into 8 or 16 bits. When writing to a register, care must be taken to ensure only the relevant bits are changed.

In the official Super Nintendo development manual, bit 0 is conventionally labeled "D0" (data).
