zero scale (of an analog-to-digital converter [a digital-to-analog converter] with true zero)
A term used to refer a characteristic to the step whose nominal midstep [step] value equals zero.
NOTE 1 The subscript for the letter symbol of a characteristic at zero scale is "ZS".
NOTE 2 In place of a letter symbol, the abbreviation "ZS" is commonly used.

zero scale, negative (of an analog-to-digital converter or digital-to-analog converter with no true zero)
A term used to refer a characteristic to the negative step closest to analog zero.
NOTE 1 The subscript for the letter symbol of a characteristic at negative zero scale is
"ZS-", e.g., VZS-, IZS-.
NOTE 2 In place of a letter symbol, the abbreviation "ZS-" is commonly used.
References:JESD99B, 5/07
zero scale, positive (of an analog-to-digital converter or digital-to-analog converter with no true zero)
A term used to refer a characteristic to the positive step closest to analog zero.
NOTE 1 The subscript for the letter symbol of a characteristic at positive zero scale is "ZS+", e.g., VZS+, IZS+.
NOTE 2 In place of a letter symbol, the abbreviation "ZS+" is commonly used.

zero-gate-voltage drain current (IDSS)
The direct current into the drain terminal when the gate-source voltage is zero.
NOTE This is an on-state current in a depletion-type device, an off-state in an enhancement-type device.
References:JESD24, 7/85
zero-gate-voltage source current (ISDS)
The direct current into the source terminal when the gate-drain voltage is zero.

zero-scale error (of a linear analog-to-digital converter [digital-to-analog converter]) (EZS)
The difference between the actual midstep [step] value and the nominal midstep [step] value at specified zero scale.
NOTE Normally, this error specification is applied to converters that have no arrangement for an external adjustment of offset error and gain error.

ZIP/SIMM, ZIP/SIMM module
A multichip memory module in which the body has a single-in-line package (SIP) form but the leads have been formed into a zigzag configuration.
