Cache is a relatively small
amount of intermediate computing
memory that is
faster, but more
expensive, than main memory and
where the most frequently
used
information is stored for fast
access by a processor.
Capacitors are simple,
non-semiconductor electrical
components, the current through
which is related to the rate at
which voltage changes across it.
Chip-On-Board (COB) is a
method of affixing unencapsulated
chips onto
printed circuit boards
using a wire bonding process.
Chip Scale Packaging is a
method of using integrated circuits
(chips) without encapsulating them
in epoxy, thereby utilizing less
space on the circuit board.
Consigned Kit or
“consignment” model, where an OEM
purchases raw materials and
components and “consigns” them to an
EMS provider for assembly. In the
consignment model, an EMS provider’s
revenue includes only the
value-added in assembly, but not the
cost of components. Opposite of
“Turnkey” model which is an
outsourcing model, turning all
aspects of electronics manufacturing
over to an EMS provider, who buys
the raw materials and components and
bills the OEM for a complete
assembly.
