- A three-wire circuit that is star connected. Also spelled wye-connector. It is okay to use a Y-connector to split an audio signal from an
output to drive two inputs; it is not okay to use a Y-connector to try and sum or mix two signals together to drive one input. See RaneNote 109 for
details.
- Y/N
- Software program "yes/no" response prompt. A "Y" or "N" keystroke is expected.
- yield
- The number of devices that work as planned, specified as a percentage of the total number actually fabricated. Normally used to quantify a run of
integrated circuits.
- YUV video
- The coding process used in CD-I in which the luminance signal (Y) is recorded at full bandwidth on each line and chroma values (U and V)
are recorded at half bandwidth on alternate lines.
