Boundary scan is a testing technique used in electronic components to verify the interconnections between integrated circuits on a printed circuit board. It allows for the testing of digital circuits by providing a way to shift data in and out of devices through a serial interface. This method helps in identifying faults such as short circuits, open circuits, and incorrect connections without the need for physical access to the individual components. Boundary scan is commonly used during manufacturing, testing, and debugging processes to ensure the quality and reliability of electronic products.
NO - Low Power Mode
Low Power Mode is a feature found in electronic components, such as microcontrollers, processors, and devices, that allows them to operate at reduced power consumption levels. When activated, the component typically reduces its clock speed, voltage, or disables certain functions to conserve energy. This mode is often used to extend battery life in portable devices or reduce overall power consumption in energy-efficient systems. Low Power Mode can be triggered automatically based on certain conditions, such as low battery levels, or manually by the user or software. It is a crucial feature in modern electronics to balance performance with energy efficiency.

The parameter "REACH SVHC" in electronic components refers to the compliance with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation regarding Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). SVHCs are substances that may have serious effects on human health or the environment, and their use is regulated under REACH to ensure their safe handling and minimize their impact.Manufacturers of electronic components need to declare if their products contain any SVHCs above a certain threshold concentration and provide information on the safe use of these substances. This information allows customers to make informed decisions about the potential risks associated with using the components and take appropriate measures to mitigate any hazards.Ensuring compliance with REACH SVHC requirements is essential for electronics manufacturers to meet regulatory standards, protect human health and the environment, and maintain transparency in their supply chain. It also demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices in the electronics industry.
No SVHC - Radiation Hardening
Radiation hardening is the process of making electronic components and circuits resistant to damage or malfunction caused by high levels of ionizing radiation, especially for environments in outer space (especially beyond the low Earth orbit), around nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, or during nuclear accidents or nuclear warfare.
No - RoHS Status
RoHS means “Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances” in the “Hazardous Substances Directive” in electrical and electronic equipment.
ROHS3 Compliant - Lead Free
Lead Free is a term used to describe electronic components that do not contain lead as part of their composition. Lead is a toxic material that can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, so the electronics industry has been moving towards lead-free components to reduce these risks. Lead-free components are typically made using alternative materials such as silver, copper, and tin. Manufacturers must comply with regulations such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive to ensure that their products are lead-free and environmentally friendly.
