The activities within JC-16’s scope include the specification of power supply voltage levels for digital integrated circuits and the definition of electrical interfaces between the components of a system. The committee scope further encompasses interface protocols, modeling, simulation, testing environments, and verification.

JC-16 also hosts efforts on operating environment specifications that are common to JC-40, JC-42, and JC-45. The committee maintains a liaison with other JEDEC committees and appropriate outside organizations, both in formulating standards and in promoting wide acceptance of the committee’s activities.
