Leadless Chip Carrier. A chip package whose input and output pads sit right on the perimeter of the package. Leadless chip carriers come in several types. Types A through D are typically ceramic, with hermetically sealed metal or ceramic lids. Among these types, the designer can choose from a cavity-up or cavity-down thermal orientation. A leadless type E, which is rectangular, has also been developed for memory applications (ROMs, PROMs, EPROMs, DRAMs, and static RAMs). There is also a leadless type F for memory chips, which can be mounted directly onto a ceramic DIP carrier.
Refers to the total cost of a product over the full life of the product. The cost includes design, development, production, and support.
life- cycle costing. All phases through which an item passes from the time it is initially developed until it is either deemed unserviceable in its current state and use or disposed as being excess.

Life Cycle Cost. A method of analyzing the cost of a piece of equipment over its entire life, including development costs, production costs, operation costs, support costs, and disposal costs.
Life Cycle Analysis. Estimating the total cost of an item over its entire life cycle, including initial cost, operation and maintenance costs, and projected replacements, minus any salvage value at the end of its life cycle.
Leadless Chip Carrier. Electronic device without electrical leads extending from the body of the package. These packages may have solder bumps or lands located on the package.
Life Cycle Cost. Total cost of a system from conception to demolition.
Life Cycle Costing. A technique for analysing the cost of a product or system over its entire lifespan.
Life Cycle Costing. The systematic process of evaluating the life-cycle costs of a product, product line, process, system, or facility by identifying life-cycle consequences and assigning measures of monetary values to those consequences (ICF Inc., 1995). LCC is also referred to as Life Cycle Cost Assessment (LCCA). However, the definition of life cycle costing traditionally used by Federal facilities does not typically encompass all life cycle stages or external costs. See the definition of Life cycle assessment for a description of the life cycle stages.
