ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an OS-directed configuration, power management, and thermal management interface. AHCI Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a SATA Host controller register-level interface. ATA The Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) interface connects storage devices including hard disks and CD-ROM drives to a computer.
WAFER-945GSE 3.5” Motherboard 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.
WAFER-945GSE 3.5” Motherboard 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.
WAFER-945GSE 3.5” Motherboard asynchronous communications on the system and manages the system’s serial communication (COM) ports. UHCI The Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) specification is a register-level interface description for USB 1.1 Host Controllers. USB The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an external bus standard for interfacing devices. USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps data transfer rates, while USB 2.0 supports 480Mbps data transfer rates.

WAFER-945GSE 3.5” Motherboard C.1 DIO Interface Introduction The DIO connector on the WAFER-945GSE 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.
WAFER-945GSE 3.5” Motherboard C.3 Assembly Language Samples C.3.1 Enable the DIO Input Function The BIOS interrupt call INT 15H controls the digital I/O. An assembly program to enable digital I/O input functions is listed below. MOV AX, 6F08H Sets the digital port as input INT 15H Initiates the INT 15H BIOS call C.3.2 Enable the DIO Output Function The BIOS interrupt call INT 15H controls the digital I/O. An assembly program to enable digital I/O output functions is listed below.
