Semiconductor package is a carrier / shell used to contain and cover one or more semiconductor components or integrated circuits. The material of the shell can be metal, plastic, glass or ceramic.

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

Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is a standardized rating that indicates the susceptibility of electronic components, particularly semiconductors, to moisture-induced damage during storage and the soldering process, defining the allowable exposure time to ambient conditions before they require special handling or baking to prevent failures

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.

A Data Interface in EDQ is a template of a set of attributes representing a given entity, used to create processes that read from, or write to, interfaces rather than directly from or to sources or targets of data.

The sampling rate (per second) in electronic components refers to the frequency at which an analog signal is measured or sampled to convert it into a digital signal. It is typically expressed in Hertz (Hz) and indicates how many times per second the analog signal is sampled. A higher sampling rate allows for better representation of the original signal, capturing more detail and reducing distortion during the conversion process. In audio applications, for example, common sampling rates include 44.1 kHz for CD-quality audio and 48 kHz for video production.

The input range of a channel determines how large signals can be measured. The input range is defined as full scale value, the highest voltage that can be measured, both in positive as in negative direction.

Power (Typ) @ Conditions refers to the typical power consumption of an electronic component under specified operating conditions, such as voltage, temperature, and load. It indicates the average power that the component is expected to draw during normal operation. This parameter is crucial for designers to ensure that the component can operate efficiently within the system's power budget and thermal limits. It helps in assessing the heat generation and energy efficiency of the component in practical applications.

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