A T A The Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) interface connects storage
devices including hard disks and CD-ROM drives to a computer.
A R M D An ATAPI Removable Media Device (ARMD) is any ATAPI device that
supports removable media, besides CD and DVD drives.
A S K IR Amplitude Shift Keyed Infrared (ASKIR) is a form of modulation that
represents a digital signal by varying the amplitude (“volume”) of the
signal. A low amplitude signal represents a binary 0, while a high
amplitude signal represents a binary 1.
B IO S The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is firmware that is first run when
the computer is turned on and can be configured by the end user
C O D E C The Compressor-Decompressor (CODEC) encodes and decodes digital
audio data on the system.
C M O S Complimentary metal-oxide-conductor is an integrated circuit used in

expansion devices. The serial port on a personal computer is usually a
male DB-9 connector.
D A C The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) converts digital signals to analog
signals.
D D R Double Data Rate refers to a data bus transferring data on both the rising
and falling edges of the clock signal.
D M A Direct Memory Access (DMA) enables some peripheral devices to
bypass the system processor and communicate directly with the system
memory.
D IM M Dual Inline Memory Modules are a type of RAM that offer a 64-bit data
bus and have separate electrical contacts on each side of the module.
