Lifecycle Status refers to the current stage of an electronic component in its product life cycle, indicating whether it is active, obsolete, or transitioning between these states. An active status means the component is in production and available for purchase. An obsolete status indicates that the component is no longer being manufactured or supported, and manufacturers typically provide a limited time frame for support. Understanding the lifecycle status is crucial for design engineers to ensure continuity and reliability in their projects.

Parts can have many statuses as they progress through the configuration, analysis, review, and approval stages.

Utilized IC / Part is a parameter that refers to the extent to which an integrated circuit (IC) or electronic component is being used or consumed within a system or application. It typically indicates the percentage or ratio of the component's capabilities that are being utilized in a given scenario. This parameter is important for assessing the efficiency and performance of the component, as well as for determining if the component is being underutilized or overburdened in a particular application. Monitoring and optimizing the utilization of ICs and electronic parts can help improve overall system reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Supplied Contents in electronic components refers to the items or materials that are included with the component when it is purchased. These contents can vary depending on the specific component and manufacturer, but typically include things like user manuals, installation guides, cables, connectors, and any additional accessories needed for the component to function properly. The supplied contents are important for ensuring that the user has everything they need to set up and use the electronic component correctly. It is recommended to carefully check the supplied contents upon receiving a new electronic component to make sure that nothing is missing and to familiarize oneself with the included materials for optimal use.

Board Type refers to the specific configuration or category of a printed circuit board (PCB) used in electronic devices. It defines the characteristics and design of the board, such as single-sided, double-sided, or multilayer constructions. The Board Type impacts factors like signal integrity, power distribution, and thermal management, influencing the overall performance and functionality of the electronic component. Different applications and environments may require specific Board Types to meet durability and operational requirements.

The parameter "Main Purpose" in electronic components refers to the primary function or intended use of the component within a circuit or system. It describes the specific role that the component plays in the overall functionality of the electronic device. Understanding the main purpose of a component is crucial for proper selection, placement, and integration within a circuit design. This parameter helps engineers and designers ensure that each component is utilized effectively and efficiently to achieve the desired performance and functionality of the electronic system.

Outputs and Type in electronic components refer to the specific signals or power levels that a device can produce or deliver. This parameter indicates the nature of the output, such as voltage, current, or digital signals, and categorizes them into types like analog or digital outputs. It is crucial for understanding how the component interacts with other devices in a circuit and ensures compatibility within electronic systems.

In electronic components, "Regulator Topology" refers to the specific configuration or design of a voltage regulator circuit. A voltage regulator is a device that maintains a constant output voltage regardless of changes in input voltage or load conditions. The regulator topology determines how the components within the circuit are connected and how they function together to achieve voltage regulation. Common regulator topologies include linear regulators, switching regulators, and shunt regulators, each with its own advantages and limitations. Understanding the regulator topology is crucial for selecting the appropriate voltage regulator for a particular application based on factors such as efficiency, cost, size, and performance requirements.

RoHS means “Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances” in the “Hazardous Substances Directive” in electrical and electronic equipment.
