JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, formerly known as Joint Electron Device Engineering
Council(s) (JEDEC), is the semiconductor engineering standardisation body of the Electronic
Industries Alliance (EIA), a trade association that represents all areas of the electronics industry in
the United States.
