Electronic engineering
Addend register
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a digital computer, the register that stores the addend.
Doppler broadening
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a spectrum, the spreading out or blurring of a spectral line caused by doppler effect, in turn resulting from motion of molecules, atoms, or other particles in the medium.
Breakover point
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a silicon-controlled rectifier, the source-voltage value at which the load current is suddenly triggered to its steep climb. Also called triggering point.
Channel-reversing switch
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a stereo system, a switch that allows channel reversal without the need for reorienting speaker cables or connectors.
Chopped mode
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a single-gun cathode-ray-tube (CRT) oscilloscope, a technique for sequentially displaying several signals that are not referenced to the oscilloscope sweep.
Difference channel
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a stereophonic amplifier, an audio channel that handles the difference between signals in the right channel and those in the left channel.
Breakover voltage
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a silicon-controlled rectifier with open gate circuit, the anode voltage at which anode current is initiated.
