| comp., MS | controladora de comunicaciones | communications controller (A device used as an intermediary in transferring communications to and from the host computer to which it is connected. By relieving the host computer of the actual tasks of sending, receiving, deciphering, and checking transmissions for errors, a communications controller helps to make efficient use of the host computer's processing time - time that might be better used for noncommunications tasks. A communications controller can be either a programmable machine in its own right or a nonprogrammable device designed to follow certain communications protocols) |
| commun. | controladora de comunicaciones serie | serial communications controller |
| comp., MS | controladora de disco | disk controller (A special-purpose chip and associated circuitry that directs and controls reading from and writing to a computer's disk drive. A disk controller handles such tasks as positioning the read/write head, mediating between the drive and the microprocessor, and controlling the transfer of information to and from memory. Disk controllers are used with floppy disk drives and hard disks and can either be built into the system or be part of a card that plugs into an expansion slot) |
| comp., MS | controladora de dispositivos de almacenamiento | mass-storage controller (A device on which mass-storage devices rely for access to a computer subsystem. For example, a SCSI card or IDE functionality on the motherboard is a mass-storage controller; the physical hard drive is a mass-storage device) |
| comp., MS | controladora de host | host controller (An hardware device for connecting a peripheral to the main computer, typically in the form of an expansion card) |
| comp., MS | controladora de vídeo 3D | 3D display controller (A display controller that supports 3D operations) |
| comp., MS | controladora integrada | embedded controller (The general class of microcontrollers used to support OEM-specific implementation, mainly in mobile environments. The embedded controller performs complex low-level functions through a simple interface to the host microprocessor(s)) |
| comp., MS | controladora programable avanzada de interrupciones | advanced programmable interrupt controller (A programmable interrupt controller (PIC) that provides multiprocessor interrupt management. An APIC incorporates both static and dynamic symmetric interrupt distribution across all processors. It usually has more available interrupt lines than a typical PIC) |
| comp., MS | controladora programable de interrupciones | programmable interrupt controller (A device that functions as an overall manager in an interrupt driven system) |
| fin. | cuentas por cobrar - empresa controladora | receivables - parent company |
| fin. | deudas - sociedad controladora | debt - parent company |
| fin. | empresa controladora | holding company |
| gen. | estación controladora central | central controller station |
| commun., IT | función controladora de asociación múltiple | multiple association controlling function |
| commun., IT | función controladora de una sola asociación | single association controlling function |
| commun., IT | función controladora de una sola asociación | single association control function |
| comp., MS | interfaz de controladora integrada | embedded controller interface (A standard hardware and software communications interface between an operating system driver and an embedded controller, such as Smart Battery and AML code. This allows any operating system to provide a standard driver that can directly communicate with an embedded controller in the system, thus allowing other drivers to communicate with and use the resources of the system embedded controllers) |
| industr., construct., chem. | máquina automática controladora del calibre de la boca | automatic bore-gauging machine |
| commun. | tarjeta controladora de interfaz de red | network interface card/controller |
| patents. | teclados, impresoras y controladoras | keyboards, printers and controllers |
| commun., IT | unidad controladora de tarjetas adaptadoras de red | network adapter card driver |
