Arc-suppressor diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor diode used to prevent arcing between make-and-break contacts.

Binistor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor switching device that exhibits two stable states and also negative resistance.

Back diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor diode that is normally back-biased (reverse-biased).

Diode field-strength metre

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A simple metre for measuring the intensity of a radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic field. It consists of a short whip antenna, an inductance-capacitance (LC) tuned circuit, a diode detector, and a ...

Block diagram

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A simplified diagram of an electronic system, in which circuits, stages, units, or devices are shown as two-dimensional boxes with the internal wiring and detail circuitry omitted. This makes it ...

Common impedance

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A single impedance shared by parts of a circuit. Because currents from the various parts flow through this impedance simultaneously, coupling (desired or undesired) can occur between them.

Digit

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A single symbol in a numbering system (e.g., 0 through 9 in the decimal system, or 0 or 1 in the binary system), whose value depends on its position in a group and on the radix of the particular ...
