Dictionary: JESD88

JEDEC publishes a Dictionary of Terms for Solid State Technology, JESD88. Its purpose is to promote the uniform use of terms, definitions, abbreviations, and symbols throughout the solid state industry. The terms and definitions from JESD88 are provided here for quick search. This area will be updated as new terms and definitions are developed by JEDEC Committees and approved by the JEDEC Board of Directors.

2^nd level interconnect

The interconnection made by the attachment of the device or component to the printed circuit board.

2^nd level interconnect label

A label that identifies boxes, bags, or containers that contain boards, assemblies, or components having or capable of providing Pb-free 2^nd‑level interconnects.

NOTE This label includes the Pb-free category and maximum processing temperature.

ac controller

A circuit that produces, from an ac input, an ac output that is proportional to a control input.

References:

ac noise margin

The maximum transient or pulse voltage amplitude of extraneous signal that can be algebraically added to the noise-free worst-case input level without causing the output voltage to deviate from the allowable logic voltage level.

References:

RS-390-A, 2/81

ac terminal

A terminal that is to be connected to the ac circuit.
