semiconductor on and the other off.

There is no current flow except for

capacitance charging and

discharging and for switching

operations.

CMOS devices therefore

use considerably less power than

other types of semiconductor

devices.

They are ideal for use in

microcomputers and

battery-powered devices such as

calculators and portable computers.

computer architecture

(1) The

logical structure and functional

characteristics of a computer,

including the interrelationships

among its hardware and software

components. (2) The organizational

structure of a computer system,

including hardware and software.

configuration

The manner in

which the hardware and software of

an information processing system

are organized and interconnected.

(T)

configure

To set up a computer

for operation by describing to the

system the devices, optional

features, and programs installed in

the computer.

connector

An electrical part used

to join two or more other electrical

parts.

(Contrast with port.)

control

The determination of the

time and order in which the parts of

a computer and the devices that

contain those parts perform the

input, processing, storage, and

output functions.

controller

A device that

coordinates and controls the

operation of one or more

input/output devices, such as

workstations, and synchronizes the

operation of such devices with the

operation of the system as a whole.

crossover cable

A type of

10BASE-T cable in which the

transmit and receive data pairs are

wired so that the transmit pair is

terminated at the pin positions used

by the receive pair at the opposite

end of the cable.

A crossover cable

is used to connect the 10BASE-T

port on an Ethernet controller to a

10BASE-T port on a repeater that

does not perform the crossover

function.

DASD

Direct access storage

device.

data

. (1) A re-interpretable

representation of information in a

formalized manner suitable for

communication, interpretation, or

processing.

Operations can be

performed upon data by humans or

by automatic means.

(T) (2)

Any

representations such as characters or

analog quantities to which meaning

is or might be assigned.

(A)

data bus

A bus used to

communicate data internally and

externally to and from a processing

unit, storage, and peripheral

devices. (A)
