0x1980

0x1980 is a hexadecimal numeral, with the 0x prefix indicating base-16 notation. In decimal, 0x1980 equals 6528. Its binary representation is 0001 1001 1000 0000, corresponding to bits 12, 11, 8, and 7 being set in a 16-bit value.

In programming, 0x1980 is commonly seen as a literal. Languages such as C, C++, JavaScript, and many others interpret 0x1980 as the integer 6528, used in calculations, comparisons, or as a parameter in function calls.

Common contexts for 0x1980 include memory addresses, offsets in hardware or device registers, and bitmask values. For example, in a 16-bit register map, 0x1980 could represent a pattern where specific bits are enabled (bits 12, 11, 8, and 7) while others are cleared. Such patterns are typical in low-level programming and hardware documentation, where precise bit control is required.

Because 0x1980 is simply a numeric literal, its meaning is not fixed beyond its value and the surrounding specification. Its interpretation depends on the system, software, or data format in use. It may appear in contexts ranging from memory addressing to encoding schemes, but there is no universal definition attached to the symbol beyond its numeric value.
