LCD:

(“Liquid Crystal Display”)

LDO:

Low Drop Out: A linear voltage regulator that will operate even when the input voltage barely exceeds the desired output voltage.

Leakage Inductance:

An inductive component present in a transformer that results from the imperfect magnetic linking of one winding to another.

LED:

Light-Emitting Diode: A semiconductor device that emits light (usually visible or infrared) when forward-biased.

Level Translator:

A device which translates a logic signal from one type to another, for example, ECL to TTL.

LFSR:

Linear Feedback Shift Register: A shift register in which some of its outputs are connected to the input through some logic gates (typically, an exclusive-or (XOR). A wide variety of bit patterns can be generated inexpensively, including pseudo-random sequences. Can be used as a noise generator.

Line Regulation:

The ability of a power-supply voltage regulator to maintain its output voltage despite variations in its input voltage.

LLC:

(“Leadless Chip Carrier”)

Look-up Table:

A stored matrix of data for reference purpose.

LSB:

Least-Significant Bit. In a binary number, the LSB is the least weighted bit in the number. Typically, binary numbers are written with the MSB in the left-most position; the LSB is the furthest-right bit.

LSI:

Large-Scale Integration.

LVC:

Lowest Voltage Clamp

LVDS:

Low Voltage Differential Signaling

LVECL:

Low Voltage Emitter Coupled Logic

LVPECL:

Low Voltage Positive Emitter Coupled Logic

LVS:

Layout Versus Schematic

LVTTL:

Low Voltage Transistor-Transistor Logic.
