41Multivibrator — A multivibrator is an electronic circuit used to implement a variety of simple two state systems such as oscillators, timers and flip flops. It is characterized by two amplifying devices (transistors, electron tubes or other devices) cross… …
42semiconductor device — ▪ electronics Introduction electronic circuit component made from a material that is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator (hence semiconductor). Such devices have found wide applications because of their compactness, reliability,… …
43Cascode — The cascode is a two stage amplifier composed of a transconductance amplifier followed by a current buffer. Compared to a single amplifier stage, this combination may have one or more of the following advantages: higher input output isolation,… …
44Diode logic — (DL) or diode resistor logic constructs Boolean logic gates from diodes acting as electrically operated switches. While diode logic has the advantage of simplicity, the lack of an amplifying stage in each gate limits its application. Not all… …
45Common base — Figure 1: Basic NPN common base circuit (neglecting biasing details). In electronics, a common base (also known as grounded base) amplifier is one of three basic single stage bipolar junction transistor (BJT) amplifier topologies, typically used… …
46Vacuum tube — This article is about the electronic device. For experiments in an evacuated pipe, see free fall. For the transport system, see pneumatic tube. Modern vacuum tubes, mostly miniature style In electronics, a vacuum tube, electron tube (in North… …
47Lightning rod — A lightning rod (USA) or lightning conductor (UK) is a single component in a lightning protection system. In addition to rods placed at regular intervals on the highest portions of a structure, a lightning protection system typically includes a… …
48environment — environmental, adj. environmentally, adv. /en vuy reuhn meuhnt, vuy euhrn /, n. 1. the aggregate of surrounding things, conditions, or influences; surroundings; milieu. 2. Ecol. the air, water, minerals, organisms, and all other external factors… …
49Current limiting — is the practice in electrical or electronic circuits of imposing an upper limit on the current that may be delivered to a load with the purpose of protecting the circuit generating or transmitting the current from harmful effects due to a short… …
50GgNMOS — is an abbreviation for grounded gate NMOS. A ggNMOS is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device used within CMOS integrated circuits (IC). The importance of using of such devices within ICs can been seen in the statistics reported by… …
