switching speeds
1Switching time — For a frequency synthesizer, the switching time or more colloquially the switching speed is the amount of time from when the command for the next frequency is requested until the time that the synthesizer s output becomes usable and meets the… …
2Packet switching — is a digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data – regardless of content, type, or structure – into suitably sized blocks, called packets. Packet switching features delivery of variable bit rate data streams… …
3Number Five Crossbar Switching System — The Number Five Crossbar Switching System or 5XB switch, designed by Bell Labs and made by Western Electric, was in use in Bell System telephone exchanges from 1948 to the 1980s. Its principal use was as a Class 5 telephone switch, though… …
4Distributed switching — is an architecture in which multiple processor controlled switching units are distributed. There is often a hierarchy of switching elements, with a centralized host switch and with remote switches located close to concentrations of users.… …
5Quantum dot cellular automaton — Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (sometimes referred to simply as quantum cellular automata, or QCA) Any device designed to represent data and perform computation, regardless of the physics principles it exploits and materials used to build it, must …
6materials science — the study of the characteristics and uses of various materials, as glass, plastics, and metals. [1960 65] * * * Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material s composition and structure, both… …
7MODFET — The modulated doping field effect transistor or modulation doped field effect transistor (MODFET) is a type of a field effect transistor, also known as the High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT). Like other FETs, MODFETs are used in integrated… …
8Power network design (IC) — In integrated circuits, electrical power is distributed to the components of the chip over a network of conductors on the chip. Power network design (IC) includes the analysis and design of such networks. As in all engineering, this involves… …
9Avalanche transistor — An Avalanche Transistor is a bipolar junction transistor designed for operation in the region of its collector current/collector to emitter voltage characteristics beyond the collector to emitter breakdown voltage, called avalanche breakdown… …
10Relay — This article is about the electrical component. For other uses, see Relay (disambiguation). Automotive style miniature relay, dust cover is taken off A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to operate a… …
