An electronic interface that allows debugging of embedded systems. Specifically, it provides in-circuit debugging functionality in microcontrollers. It requires a single wire and ...

bit error rate (BER)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

In a digital transmission, BER is the percentage of bits with errors divided by the total number of bits that have been transmitted, received or processed over a given time ...

bit error rate tester (BERT)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A procedure or device that measures the bit error rate of a transmission.

ball grid array (BGA)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A component whose terminations are on the bottom of the package, and are in the shape of solder balls and in a grid array pattern. This generally covers components that have them ...

built In logic block observer (BILBO)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A BILBO is a multitalented logic circuit that can be a state register, a scan register, an LFSR, or a MISR depending on the state of its mode pins. BILBOs are sometimes used to ...
