alias frequency

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A false lower-frequency component that appears in analog data that is reconstructed from original data digitized at an insufficiently high sampling rate.

asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A fast-packet switching technology that uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing.

fault dictionary

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A fault dictionary contains the same information contained in a fault list, but include information about how the fault manifests itself including the error location and its ...

non-observable fault

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A fault is considered non-observable if its effects cannot be measured at any network output.

fault list

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A fault list that contains every possible fault for consideration, but no information bout how the fault manifests itself under various circuit conditions and test conditions.

passive filter

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A filter circuit using only passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

anti-alias filter

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A filter that attenuates noise and high-frequency components of an analog signal prior to its conversion into a digital value.
