return-to-zero (RZ)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A digital wave format. When a valid bit is present, the waveform switches to a “1,” then back to a “0” within the same cycle.

supportability analyses (SA)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A wide range of related analyses that should be conducted within the system’s engineering process. The goals of supportability analyses are to ensure that supportability is ...

square chip carrier (SCC)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A chip carrier with a square body.

surface barrier diode

Semiconductors; Test equipment

(Schottky diode) High speed diode that has very little junction capacitance. Also known as a "hot-carrier diode."

sandia controllability and observability analysis program (SCOAP)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A method used to determine design testability; often used for scan or test point selection.

standard commands for programmable instruments (SCPI)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

An extension of the IEEE 488.2 standard defining standard programming commands and syntax for device operations.

silicon controlled rectifier (SCR)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

Three terminal active device that acts as a gated diode. The gate terminal is used to turn the device on allowing current to pass from cathode to anode.
