PICOe-GM45A Half-Size CPU Card computer is usually a male DE-9 connector. DAC The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) converts digital signals to analog signals. DDR Double Data Rate refers to a data bus transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal. DMA Direct Memory Access (DMA) enables some peripheral devices to bypass the system processor and communicate directly with the system memory.
PAGE 179
PICOe-GM45A Half-Size CPU Card MAC The Media Access Control (MAC) protocol enables several terminals or network nodes to communicate in a LAN, or other multipoint networks. PCIe PCI Express (PCIe) is a communications bus that uses dual data lines for full-duplex (two-way) serial (point-to-point) communications between the SBC components and/or expansion cards and the SBC chipsets. Each line has a 2.5 Gbps data transmission rate and a 250 MBps sustained data transfer rate.

PICOe-GM45A Half-Size CPU Card C.1 DIO Interface Introduction The DIO connector on the PICOe-GM45A is interfaced to GPIO ports on the ITE IT8718F Super I/O chipset. The DIO has both 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs. The digital inputs and digital outputs are generally control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices. Data can be read or written to the selected address to enable the DIO functions.
