PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller
PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller
Both PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller refer to Intel� Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework, also known as DPTF. The main function is to help enable thin, quiet, and cool platform designs. To solve the driver issue you need to download drivers provided by your laptop manufacturer.Is it important? Im not so sure, but if you want my personal opinion, it would say it is not a big problem and will not bother my system. However, a user reported that without this driver his Yoga 13 (lenovo) getting slower.
