HDA High Definition Audio
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
IOH IO Hub
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.
MSR Model Specific Registers
PCI Peripheral Component Interface
PCI-E Peripheral Component Interface Express - next-generation high
speed Serialized I/O bus
PEI Pre-EFI Initialization
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.
RGMII Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface
SM System Management
SPD Serial Presence Detect - refers to serial EEPROM on DRAMs that has
DRAM module configuration information
