scope:

This specification covers qualification and performance of embedded active and passive circuitry within the finished printed board.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to define the electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements specific to embedded passive and active circuitry. These requirements are in addition to the applicable requirements of other performance specification(s) (e.g., IPC-6010 series, J-STD-001). Where specified, the requirements in this specification may supersede those requirements.

Substrates, as pertain to this standard, are materials (e.g., prepreg, laminate, films, cores, etc.) that serve as a platform for the embedded circuitry.

See IPC-7092 for additional guidance and information on embedded circuitry.
