I'm analyzing the schematics of Lenovo_G530_N500_-_COMPAL_LA-4212P_JIWA3_JIWA4_-_REV_1.0Sec. I have across scenarios where there is a circle next to a component pin. What does this circle symbolize? I have attached the screen shot for my question.

I have tried looking for a proper answer on the internet, but no satisfactory answer found.
