JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council)

JEDEC, or the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council, is an organization that develops and standardizes technical guidelines and specifications for semiconductor devices and electronic components. It ensures consistency, quality, and compatibility across the electronics industry by creating industry-wide standards for things like memory modules (e.g., DDR RAM), circuit boards, and other electronic parts. Manufacturers follow JEDEC standards to make sure their products work reliably with others, facilitating easier design, manufacturing, and integration of electronic devices globally.
