What is a Linear Microcircuit?

A Linear Microcircuit (MICROCIRCUIT,LINEAR) is a microcircuit whose output is a function of the input; that is, the output varies in a predetermined and essentially predictable manner from the input signal.

What is a Digital Microcircuit?

A Digital Microcircuit (MICROCIRCUIT,DIGITAL) is a microcircuit specifically designed to generate, modify, or process electrical signals which operate with two distinct or binary states. These states are commonly referred to as on and off, true and false, high and low, or "1" and "0".

What is a Microcircuit Assembly?

A Microcircuit Assembly is a grouping of two or more individual microcircuits mounted on a common mounting or on each other. Each microcircuit must be separable and capable of functioning in accordance with its given name. The item is generally part of an electrical/electronic subassembly and cannot be assigned a more specific item name. It excludes items containing electrical/electronic components other than microcircuits, except that when mounted on a printed wiring board it may include a connector(s). For items containing other components in additition to MICROCIRCUITS see CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY and ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS ASSEMBLY. F0r items having a complete individual electrical/electronic function, use the applicable item name such as AMPLIFIER (as modified), OSCILLATOR (as modified) or POWER SUPPLY.

What is a Microcircuit Set?

A Microcircuit Set is a grouping of two or more separate MICROCIRCUITS, (as modified) which may or may not be matched together for characteristic(s). For items having a common mounting or mounted on each other, see MICROCIRCUIT ASSEMBLY. Excludes SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE SET.

What is a Digital-Linear Microcircuit?

A Digital-Linear Microcircuit (MICROCIRCUIT,DIGITAL-LINEAR) is a microcircuit having the dual functions of a MICROCIRCUIT (1), DIGITAL and a MICROCIRCUIT (1), LINEAR.

What is a Hybrid Microcircuit?

A Hybrid Microcircuit (MICROCIRCUIT,HYBRID) is a circuit in which one type of microcircuit is combined with some other type of microcircuit or with discrete components. For two microcircuits on a common mounting or on each other, see MICROCIRCUIT ASSEMBLY. For microcircuits having a complete independent memory function, see MICROCIRCUIT (1), MEMORY.

What is a Memory Microcircuit?

A Memory Microcircuit (MICROCIRCUIT,MEMORY) is a circuit designed to store information and/or coded instructions. Item has pins or other connections to install in a computer or computing device. Does not include magnetic drums, tapes, punched cards or the like. For items that have portable type connections see MEMORY, PORTABLE, SOLID STATE.

NATO Supply Class 5962 is a classification for microcircuits, specifically electronic ones. It falls under NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to electrical and electronic equipment components.

Microcircuits are small electronic circuits that are typically integrated onto a single chip. They are used in a wide range of electronic devices, including computers, smartphones, and various other electronic systems. Microcircuits are essential components that enable the functioning of electronic devices by providing the necessary circuitry for processing and controlling electrical signals.

NATO Supply Class 5962 encompasses various types of electronic microcircuits, including integrated circuits (ICs), hybrid microcircuits, and multichip modules. These microcircuits are designed to perform specific functions, such as amplification, signal processing, memory storage, and logic operations.

The classification of microcircuits under NATO Supply Class 5962 is important for military and defense purposes. It allows for standardized identification, procurement, and inventory management of these critical components within NATO member countries. This classification ensures compatibility and interoperability of microcircuits across different military systems and equipment.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 5962 for Microcircuits, Electronic is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59 for Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components. It specifically pertains to electronic microcircuits, which are crucial components used in a wide range of electronic devices, including military systems and equipment.
