constant-voltage power supply
11Voltage regulator — A popular three pin 12 V DC voltage regulator IC. A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator may be a simple feed forward design or may include negative feedback …
12Power factor — For other uses, see Power factor (pistol). The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load over the apparent power in the circuit,[1][2] and is a dimensionless number between 0 and 1… …
13Voltage-to-current converter — Introduction For a variety of reasons, in low voltage electronics, voltage is a more frequently used data carrier. Thus electronic devices tend to be labeled with voltage inputs and outputs. However some devices are labeled in terms of current… …
14Voltage regulator module — A voltage regulator module or VRM, sometimes called PPM (power processing module) is an electronic device that provides a microprocessor the appropriate supply voltage. It can be soldered to the motherboard or be an installable device. It allows… …
15Voltage regulator tube — A voltage regulator tube (VR tube) is an electronic component used as a shunt regulator to hold a voltage constant at a pre determined level.Physically, these devices resemble vacuum tubes, but there are two main differences: * Their glass… …
16Voltage spike — In electrical engineering, spikes are fast, short duration electrical transients in voltage (voltage spikes), current (current spike), or transferred energy (energy spikes) in an electrical circuit.Fast, short duration electrical transients… …
17Voltage reduction — In a simple resistive circuit, a reduction in the voltage across the resistance will result in a reduction in the power dissipated by the circuit.Electric UtilitiesElectric utilities have discovered that this basic principle can save utility… …
18Voltage reference — A voltage reference is an electronic device (circuit or component) that produces a fixed (constant) voltage irrespective of the loading on the device, power supply variation and temperature. It is also known as a voltage source , but in the… …
19Light induced voltage alteration — (LIVA) is a semiconductor analysis technique that uses a laser or infrared light source to induce voltage changes in a device while scanning the beam of light across its surface. The technique relies upon the generation of electron hole pairs in… …
20Voltage source — In electric circuit theory, an ideal voltage source is a circuit element where the voltage across it is independent of the current through it. A voltage source is the dual of a current source. In analysis, a voltage source supplies a constant DC… …
