Terminology
Questions about mapping different labels, abbreviations, units, and vendor-specific wording into confirmed canonical fields.
Back to Engineering FAQsA canonical field is the normalized name SpecCore uses after mapping a raw vendor label. For example, 'VCC max', 'supply voltage maximum', and 'positive supply voltage max' may map to one canonical field if the context matches.
No. Similar labels still need context. A maximum rating, recommended operating condition, and test condition can look similar but mean different things. The confirmation step exists to prevent bad merges.
Keep the raw abbreviation, map it to a canonical field, and store the source snippet. Abbreviations like ICC, VCC, Ta, Tj, CIR, MIR, and MTBF are useful only when the table context is preserved.
