In electronic components, the "Series" refers to a group of products that share similar characteristics, designs, or functionalities, often produced by the same manufacturer. These components within a series typically have common specifications but may vary in terms of voltage, power, or packaging to meet different application needs. The series name helps identify and differentiate between various product lines within a manufacturer's catalog.

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.

In control theory the settling time of a dynamical system such as an amplifier or other output device is the time elapsed from the application of an ideal instantaneous step input to the time at which the amplifier output has entered and remained within a specified error band.

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.

DAC Type refers to the type of digital-to-analog converter used in electronic components. A digital-to-analog converter is a device that converts digital signals into analog signals. The DAC Type parameter specifies the specific design and technology used in the DAC, such as resistor-string DAC, R-2R ladder DAC, sigma-delta DAC, or current-steering DAC. Each type of DAC has its own characteristics, advantages, and limitations, which can affect the performance and functionality of the electronic component in which it is used. Understanding the DAC Type is important for selecting the right component for a particular application and ensuring compatibility with other components in the system.
