  • Publication number: 20220302059
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electronic component that includes a mounting surface having a terminal formation area and a plurality of terminal electrodes arranged in an array in the terminal formation area. The center point of the terminal formation area is offset with respect to the center point of the mounting surface. Thus, at mounting of the electronic component on a mounting substrate, a solder paste is supplied to a land pattern, and then the mounting is performed such that the center point of a mounting area and the center point of the mounting surface coincide with each other, whereby a predetermined displacement occurs between the planar positions of the land pattern and terminal electrode. This allows a void inside the solder to be released outside without involving a layout change of the land pattern.

  • Patent number: 10180670
    Abstract: To reliably detect a communication error status and to resolve the communication error status when reliably recovered from the error status. A count value is changed into one of up and down directions when a communication error is detected by a communication error determination unit, the count value is changed into the other direction of the up and down directions when communication being normal is detected by the communication error determination unit, a communication error status is output when the count value becomes a first threshold value, and the communication error status is resolved when the count value becomes a second threshold value different from the first threshold value.
