About this Manual
I2C
Inter Integrated Circuit - 2 wire (clock and data) signaling scheme
allowing communication between integrated circuits, primarily used
to read and load registers values.
IDE
Integrated Device Electronics - parallel interface for hard disk drives -
also known as PATA
LPC
Low Pin-Count Interface: a low speed interface used for peripheral
circuits such as Super I/O controllers, which typically combine
legacy-device support into a single IC.
LVDS
Low Voltage Differential Signaling - widely used as a physical
interface for TFT flat panels. LVDS can be used for many high-speed
signaling applications. In this document, it refers only to TFT flat-
panel applications.
PCI
Peripheral Component Interface
PCI-E
Peripheral Component Interface Express - next-generation high
speed Serialized I/O bus
PHY
Ethernet controller physical layer device
Pin-out Type
A reference to one of five COM ExpressTM definitions for what signals
appear on the COM ExpressTM module connector pins.
SPD
Serial Presence Detect - refers to serial EEPROM on DRAMs that has
DRAM module configuration information
S0, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5
System states describing the power and activity level
S0 Full power, all devices powered S1 S2
S3 Suspend to RAM System context stored in RAM; RAM is in standby
S4 Suspend to Disk System context stored on disk
S5 Soft Off Main power rail off, only standby power rail present
SATA
Serial AT Attachment: serial-interface standard for hard disks
SBC
Single Board Computer
Super I/O
An integrated circuit typically interfaced via the LPC bus that
provides legacy PC I/O functions including PS2 keyboard and mouse
ports, serial and parallel port(s) and a floppy interface.
USB
Universal Serial Bus
VGA
Video Graphics Adapter
WDT
Watch Dog Timer.
