chip ~
See Device.
chip feeder ~
A component feeder system which mounts onto, and feeds devices to, electronic
SMT Machines. Also called a tape feeder.
contacts
~
The electrically conductive metal leads on a socket module which conduct pro-
gramming signals from the programmer to the pins on the device in the socket.
continuity check
~
A preprogramming test that checks the device for electrical connections to the
socket. (No electrical connection to the die). Not all pins are checked during this
test.
D
DAB ~
See Diagnostic Adapter Board
device ~
A programmable integrated circuit. You may have heard other terms such as
chip, microchip, semiconductor device, PROM, or DUT (Device Under Test).
device package ~
The protective container or housing for an electronic device with external termi-
nals to provide electrical access to the components inside.
device tape ~
The device pocket tape, the devices, and the cover tape before they are sepa-
rated.
Diagnostic Adaptor
Board
~
(DAB) A circuit board that replaces the Socket Adapter Board for performing pro-
grammer hardware diagnostics.
Digital I/O ~
Provides 24 VDC for sensor systems throughout the PS System. It may also be
called the Modbus for Modular bus. See also, bus.
(Note that PS Machines prior to 2009 have an AutoPak, or I/O Controller,
instead of a Digital I/O.)
Door ~
See Access Doors.
E
E-plate 1 ~
PS588 Machines these are mounted horizontally. On PS288 & PS388 Machines
these are mounted vertically.
E-plate 2 ~
PS588 only; mounted horizontally,???
E-plate 4 ~
PS288 & PS388 only; it is vertically mounted to the frame.???
End a job ~
See Finish a job.
ESD ~
Electrostatic Discharge. ESD can damage programmable devices and other
static sensitive electronic components.
Ethernet ~
The most popular type of local area network, which sends its communications
through radio frequency signals carried by a coaxial cable. Software protocols
used by Ethernet systems vary, but include Novell Netware and TCP/IP.
F
FEPROM ~
Flash Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. Similar to EEPROM but eras-
ing can be done in blocks or to the whole chip.
firmware ~
Software stored in ROM or PROM; essential programs that remain even when
the system is turned off.
Finish a job ~
Let the machine program the preset number of devices for that job, or end it pre-
maturely by clicking the Finish button on the Run Window.
