Initially all definitions from the JEDEC and EIA publications* listed in Annex A were considered for
inclusion in this dictionary. The following were not included: (1) terms having a specialized meaning
only within the context of a particular publication (usually a test method), e.g., “brush: A toothbrush with
a handle made up of nonreactive material …”; and (2) concepts where the publication gives only a
symbol and a term but no definition. This dictionary, like any dictionary, is primarily intended to define
concepts. For an extensive list of symbols and abbreviations with the corresponding terms for many
variations (dc, peak, rms, small signal, large signal, etc.), see JEP104, Reference Guide to Letter Symbols
for Semiconductor Devices.
