What is JEDEC?

JEDEC (formerly the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) is a standards organization for the microelectronics industry. It creates standards for various technologies, including memory, semiconductors, and other electronic components. These standards ensure interoperability and compatibility between different manufacturers' products, leading to more reliable and efficient systems. They are commonly used by manufacturers to design, produce, and test electronic components. JEDEC standards define things like physical dimensions, electrical characteristics, and test methods.
