0xCB0

0xCB0 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly encountered in computing. When read as a hex literal, it represents the decimal value 3248. The 0x prefix is widely used in programming languages such as C, C++, JavaScript, and Python to denote hexadecimal numbers.

In software and hardware contexts, 0xCB0 can function as a constant, a memory offset, or an identifier within protocols, file formats, or hardware registers. For example, a device register might be accessed at an offset of 0xCB0 from a base address, or a status code could be labeled 0xCB0 to indicate a specific condition.

Storage and interpretation depend on context and endianness. As a 16-bit value, 0xCB0 is equivalent to 0x0CB0, which has a high byte of 0x0C and a low byte of 0xB0 in big-endian systems; in little-endian systems, the byte order would be reversed when laid out in memory. If embedded within a larger 32-bit or 64-bit constant, 0xCB0 may appear as part of a broader value.

Because 0xCB0 is primarily a numeric identifier, its specific meaning is determined by the system or standard in which it appears. It does not carry an intrinsic meaning outside its value and context, and may appear in documentation, debugging outputs, or source code as a numeric code, address, or tag.
