Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification, an industry specification of the
common interfaces enabling robust operating system (OS)-directed motherboard device
configuration and power management of both devices and entire systems.
AHCI
Advanced Host Controller Interface, an industry specification of the interface between
memory and SATA devices.

COTS
Commercial off-the-shelf-: Generally technology or computer products, that are ready-
made and available for sale, lease, or license to the general public.
CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check
DAC Digital-to-Analog Converter
DDR
DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory), a system
memory technology.
DDR2 Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, second generation.
DED Double-bit Error Detect
D2D Digital-to-Digital converter (voltage regulator)
DMA
Direct Memory Access, the hardware function when a peripheral accesses data in the
memory in computer system without CPU intervention.
DW
Double Word, a legacy reference to 32 bits of data on a naturally aligned four-byte
boundary (i.e. the least significant two bits of the byte address are b00). This is a legacy
