Electronic engineering

Arcover voltage

Engineering; Electronic engineering

The voltage at which disruptive discharge occurs, typically accompanied by an arc.

Common-mode gain

Engineering; Electronic engineering

The voltage gain of a differential amplifier with a common-mode input.

Closed-loop voltage gain

Engineering; Electronic engineering

The voltage gain of an amplifier that has feedback.

Cold pressure welding

Engineering; Electronic engineering

Welding sometimes used in the fabrication of electronic equipment, in which the metal parts to be joined are pressed together tightly to the point of deformation, whereupon they become welded.

Coherent light

Engineering; Electronic engineering

Visible light in which the phase relationship between successive waves is such that the beam consists of parallel rays that provide a high concentration of energy. Also see laser.

Double precision hardware

Engineering; Electronic engineering

Within a computer, arithmetic units permitting the use of double-precision operands, sometimes also accommodating floating-point arithmetic.

Data processing

Engineering; Electronic engineering

Work performed on acquired data, as in solving problems, making comparisons, classifying material, organising files. Usually done by a computer.
