Operational Amplifier (op-amp)
A high-gain voltage amplifier that has a differential input and, usually, a single output.
Preview Development Kit (PDK)
A development platform used for application development. A Preview Development Kit uses an
engineering sample of the chip and it is not production-ready in comparison to the Development Kit
that uses a production-ready version of the chip.
Receive Data (RXD)
A signal line in a serial interface that receives data from another device.
Request to Send (RTS)
