- CS
D
- DAC
- Digital-to-Analog Converter
- DAP
- Debug Access Point
- DAPLink
- Arm Mbed DAPLink is an open-source software project that enables programming and debugging application software on running on Arm Cortex CPUs. Commonly referred to as interface firmware, DAPLink runs on a secondary MCU that is attached to the SWD or JTAG port of the application MCU. This configuration is found on nearly all development boards. It creates a bridge between your development computer and the CPU debug access port. DAPLink enables developers with drag-and-drop programming, a serial port and CMSIS-DAP based debugging.
- duty cycle ratio
- Because power is only applied [to digital devices] when the duty cycle is on, the average power delivered to the device is the duty cycle ratio multiplied by the "on" time.
- DAC
F
- FIFO
- First In/First Out
- FIFO
G
- GPIO
- General Purpose Input-Output
- GPIO
I
M
- MCU
- MicroController Unit
- microcontroller
- a compact integrated circuit designed to govern a specific operation in an embedded system. A typical microcontroller includes a processor, memory and input/output (I/O) peripherals on a single chip.

- a lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol, useful for IoT projects
- Message Queue Telemetry Transport
- microfs
- tool that uses the USB serial connection for working with the filesystem in MicroPython
- MCU
O
- open drain
- means the communications signal is pulled high by default, and devices change the signal by pulling low
- open drain
P
- PDM
- Pulse Density Modulation
- a method of representing an analog signal with binary (on/off) data
- Pulse Density Modulation
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation
- another method of representing an analog signal, to control the average power delivered, e.g. using a potentiometer
