1) 0805
. 0805. . size code for passives 0.08" long 0.05" wide. Sometimes written as zero eight zero five...
2) line voltage
. line voltage. . the voltage from the power line. It has a nominal value of 115V rms. In some places, it may be as low as 105 or as high as 125V rms....
3) unity gain frequency
. unity gain frequency. . the frequency where the voltage gain of an op amp is 1. It indicates the highest usable frequency. It is important because it equals the gainbandwidth product. It is a such frequency of operation for a device where the gain of the component drops to unity.. ...
4) trip point
. trip point. . the value of the input voltage that switches the output of a comparator or Schmitt trigger. ...
5) input offset voltage
. input offset voltage. . if you ground both inputs of an op amp, you will still have an output offset voltage. The input offset voltage is defined as the input voltage needed to eliminate the output offset voltage. The cause of input offset voltage is the difference in the Vbe curves of the two input transistors. . ...
6) collector cutoff current
. collector cutoff current. . the small collector current that exists when the base current is zero in a CE connection. Ideally, there should be no collector current. But there is because of the minority carriers and the surface leakage current of the collector diode.. ...
7) component/equipment storage
. component/equipment storage. . There are still to many instances of feeders scattered around the factory floor, stencil screens leaning against shelves and PCBs/components stored in cardboard boxes. . One of the reasons for this problem is that the search for feeder mobiles, reel racks and PCB trolleys can be a difficult task, simply because specifiers are unsure about what makes a good system. To overcome this, Mossman Tebbs` Peter Mossman uses this feature to provide readers with the facts t...
8) discrete circuit
. discrete circuit. . a circuit whose components, such as resistors, transistors, etc., are soldered or otherwise connected mechanically.. ...
9) derating factor
. derating factor. . a value that tells you how much to reduce the power rating for each degree above the reference temperature given on the data sheet.. ...
10) lcd
. lcd. . LCD display is one that uses liquid crystals to reflect light (e.g. the numerical display on some pocket calculators).. . . Another definition of lcd:. liquid Crystal Display. ...
11) foldback current limiting
. foldback current limiting. . simple current limiting allows the load current to reach a maximum value while the load voltage is reduced to zero. Foldback current limiting takes this one step further. It allows the current to reach a maximum value. Then further decreases in the load resistance reduce both the load current and the load voltage. The main advantage of foldback limiting is less power dissipation in the pass transistor under shorted-load conditions.. ...
12) solder fillet
. solder fillet. . the tin lead junction interconnection of the surface mounted component contact to the land pattern of the substrate. . ...
13) knee voltage
. knee voltage. . the point or area on a graph of diode current versus voltage where the forward current suddenly increases. It is approximately equal to the barrier potential of the diode.. ...
14) smart cards
. smart cards. . DIGITAL television and payperview programmes promise a bonanza not only for broadcasters but for pirates too. The illegal sport of beating the smart card is about to become more popular than ever. . Cloned smart cards are the favourite fraudulent way to watch satellite TV. To make a clone hackers reverseengineer legitimate smart cards which unscramble TV images and copy their circuitry. . TV companies respond by transmitting instructions intended to disable the clones but this ...
15) virtual ground
. virtual ground. . a type of ground that appears at the inverting input of an op amp that uses negative feedback. It`s called virtual ground because it has some of, but not all, the effects of a mechanical ground. Specifically, it is ground for voltage but not for current. A node that is a virtual ground has 0 V with respect to ground, but the node has no path for current to ground.. ...
16) oscillations
. oscillations. . the death of an amplifier. When an amplifier has positive feedback, it may break into oscillations, which is unwanted high-frequency signal. This signal is unrelated to the amplified input signal. Because of this, oscillations interfere with the desired signal. Oscillations make an amplifier useless. This is why a compensating capacitor is used with an op amp; it prevents the oscillations from occurring.. ...
17) c guard
. c guard. . Mobile phones the scourge of restaunants cinemas trains and concert halls may at last have met their match in the form of an electronic device that can detect and jam every handset within 100 yards. . . The device known as a CGuard and developed from Israeli military technology offers a possible end to the intrusive rings and the irritating onesided conversations that often infuriate other customers all at the flick of a switch. . . The device which costs £760 works through a micro...
18) kimball tag
. kimball tag. is a small punched card attached to merchandise which is detached when goods. are sold to provide machine readable sales data.. ...
19) voice stress phone
. voice stress phone. . IT IS the nightmare scenario for cheating husbands dodgy salesmen and lying politicians. A new telephone has gone on sale that can tell whether the person on the other end of the line is telling the truth writes Andrew Alderson. . The device which costs £2700 uses sophisticated electronics to Indicate from a person`s voice tremors whether he or she is lying. Supplied by Londonbased Communication Control Systems it is intended primarily for businessmen so they can tell whe...
20) output offset voltage
. output offset voltage. . any deviation or difference of the output voltage from the ideal output voltage.. . . ...
