quiescent current
1quiescent current — A current in an active device in the absence of a driving or modulating signal …
2Current-feedback operational amplifier — Representative schematic of a current feedback op amp or amplifier. The current feedback operational amplifier otherwise known as CfoA or CfA is a type of electronic amplifier whose inverting input is sensitive to current, rather than to voltage… …
3quiescent push-pull amplifier — (QPP) Thermionic valve or transistor amplifier, in which one side alone passes current for one phase, the other side passing current for the other phase …
4Idling current — refers to the current trickling through a circuit (or more commonly through transistors) such as an amplifier when the system is on, but doing no useful work. This is also known as quiescent current.Many electrical appliances including computer… …
5Operational amplifier — A Signetics μa741 operational amplifier, one of the most successful op amps. An operational amplifier ( op amp ) is a DC coupled high gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input and, usually, a single ended output.[1] An op amp… …
6Differential amplifier — symbol The inverting and non inverting inputs are distinguished by − and + symbols (respectively) placed in the amplifier triangle. Vs+ and Vs− are the power supply voltages; they are often omitted from the diagram for simplicity, but of course… …
7Electronic amplifier — A practical amplifier circuit An electronic amplifier is a device for increasing the power of a signal. It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In… …
8Iddq testing — is a method for testing CMOS integrated circuits for the presence of manufacturing faults. It relies on measuring the supply current (Idd) in the quiescent state (when the circuit is not switching and inputs are held at static values). The… …
9Low dropout regulator — A low dropout or LDO regulator is a DC linear voltage regulator which can operate with a very small input output differential voltage. The main components are a power FET and a differential amplifier (error amplifier). One input of the… …
10Voltage 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 …
