: Modern iterations of the driver support low-power states (D-states). When the port is not in use, it enters a low-power mode; it "wakes up" once an application opens the port. Legacy Support

| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | 16550-compatible FIFO, baud up to 115200 | | PnP enumeration | Auto-detected via ACPI/PCI | | Power management | Supports D0–D3 device power states | | Serial I/O linking | Exposes COM port and allows kernel-mode IRP_MJ_READ/WRITE linking |

. Historically, it refers to 16550-compatible UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) hardware, which allows a computer to communicate with external serial devices like modems, industrial equipment, or old-school mice. 1. Overview of PNP0500 The identifier
