a20
The A20, or address line 20, is one of the electrical lines that make up the system bus of an x86-based computer system. The A20 line in particular is used to transmit the 21st bit on the address bus.
A microprocessor typically has a number of address lines equal to the base-two logarithm of the number of words in its physical address space. For example, a processor with 4 GB of byte-addressable physical space requires 32 lines (log2(4 GB) = log2(232 B) = 32), which are named A0 through A31. The lines are named after the zero-based number of the bit in the address that they are transmitting. The least significant bit is first and is therefore numbered bit 0 and signaled on line A0. A20 transmits bit 20 (the 21st bit) and becomes active once addresses reach 1 MB, or 220.

Issues with Socomec Diris A20 Smartmeters
I am working at a site with around 100 of these meters installed on various loads. Doing an audit, we found that most of the meters were recording current exactly as our clampmeters showed (we used two, just to ensure some confidence in our manual readings). Some of the meters though showed...- Andy Watson
