Dell PERC. A Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller, or Dell PERC, is a series of RAID, disk array controllers made by Dell for its PowerEdge server computers. [1] [2] The controllers support SAS and SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs).
A floppy-disk controller ( FDC) is a hardware component that directs and controls reading from and writing to a computer's floppy disk drive (FDD). It has evolved from a discrete set of components on one or more circuit boards to a special-purpose integrated circuit (IC or "chip") or a component thereof. An FDC is responsible for reading data ...
In computing, a northbridge (also host bridge, or memory controller hub) is a microchip that comprises the core logic chipset architecture on motherboards to handle high-performance tasks, especially for older personal computers. It is connected directly to a CPU via the front-side bus (FSB), and is usually used in conjunction with a slower ...
Embedded system. An embedded system is a computer system —a combination of a computer processor, computer memory, and input/output peripheral devices—that has a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electronic system. [ 1][ 2] It is embedded as part of a complete device often including electrical or electronic hardware and ...
An embedded controller can have the following tasks: Receiving and processing signals from the keyboard [ 1] and the touchpad (including touchpad disable) Other buttons and switches (e.g., power button, laptop lid switch (received from hall sensor)) [ 2] Controlling access to the A20 line [ 3] Thermal measurement (CPU, GPU, Motherboard) and ...
Southbridge (computing) On older personal computer motherboards, the southbridge is one of the two chips in the core logic chipset, handling many of a computer's input/output functions. The other component of the chipset is the northbridge, which generally handles onboard control tasks. A southbridge chipset handles functions such as USB, audio ...
Input/output. v. t. e. In the context of an operating system, a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer or automaton. [ 1] A driver provides a software interface to hardware devices, enabling operating systems and other computer programs to access hardware ...
