Spanish term or phrase: commandless
El commandless del chip actual. Ya está en inglés en el original (que en realidad es traducción del japonés) y en inglés no se puede usar como sustantivo. La verdad estoy un poco desorientada, ¿será una característica del chip? ¿Hablará de la respuesta del mismo sin la necesidad de comandos? ¿Tendrá algo que ver con la capacidad de respuesta del chip? Desde ya muchas gracias! :)

Explanation:
Sorry I can't fully reply in Spanish, I've gotten quite rusty in the last few years.

A Google search for "commandless chip" gives zero results. It's almost impossible to resolve what is being described with so little context. Some types of chip might be considered "commandless" if they only have a single output state (or sequence of states) which can't be deterministically or programmatically altered by any kind of external input (except shutting off the power). As a wild-guess example, a very sensitive thermal sensor packaged in a chip might act as an entropy generator; reading from the chip's sole output might provide an an instantaneous representation of some fraction of the measured ambient temperature at the sensor.

The chance of this having anything to do with your text, though, I think is quite small. Can you tell us more?

En verdad lamento no haber podido dar más contexto ya que me llegó así el término, es decir, sin mayor contexto, por lo que realice la consulta para ver si alguien tenía alguna idea. Gracias de todas maneras
