Positive bias temperature instability (PBTI)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A failure mechanism in ICs that is similar to NBTI, except that it happens on a PFET rather than an NFET

Personal area network (PAN)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A term popularised to describe how Bluetooth enables a collection of personal electronic devices to operate together as a logical collective.
