comparison to the distance between discrete components mounted on the large chassis. The elementswithin the substrate are interconnected on the single substrate itself to perform an electronic function. Amicrocircuit does not have any discrete components mounted on it as do printed circuit boards, circuitcard assemblies, <strong>and</strong> modules composed exclusively of discrete component parts.Microcircuit ModuleMicrocircuits may be used in combination with discrete components. An assembly of microcircuitsor a combination of microcircuits <strong>and</strong> discrete conventional electronic components that performs one ormore distinct functions is a microcircuit module. The module is constructed as an independentlypackaged, replaceable unit. Examples of microcircuit modules are printed circuit boards <strong>and</strong> circuit cardassemblies. Figure 1-35 is a photograph of a typical microcircuit module.Miniature <strong>Electronics</strong>Figure 1-35.—Microcircuit module.Miniature electronics includes miniature electronic components <strong>and</strong> packages. Some examples areprinted circuit boards, printed wiring boards, circuit card assemblies, <strong>and</strong> modules composed exclusivelyof discrete electronic parts <strong>and</strong> components (excluding microelectronic packages) mounted on boards,assemblies, or modules. MOTHER BOARDS, large printed circuit boards with plug-in modules, areconsidered miniature electronics. Cordwood modules also fall into this category. Miniature motors,synchros, switches, relays, timers, <strong>and</strong> so forth, are also classified as miniature electronics.Recall that microelectronic components contain integrated circuits. Miniature electronics containdiscrete elements or parts. You will notice that printed circuit boards <strong>and</strong> circuit card assemblies arementioned in more than one definition. To identify the class (microminiature or miniature) of the unit,you must first determine the types of components used.Q37.
