voltage-saturation current
1Saturation current — is a term used to describe a limit to the amount of current that can flow in an electronic circuit or device. As the voltage applied to a circuit is increased, the current flow will increase proportionately until the saturation current is… …
2saturation current — noun : the limiting current through an ionized gas or an electron tube such that further increase of voltage produces no further increase in current …
3saturation current — the amount of current in an x ray tube when the voltage is sufficient to drive all the electrons produced from the cathode filament to the anode as fast as they are produced …
4Current mirror — A current mirror is a circuit designed to copy a current through one active device by controlling the current in another active device of a circuit, keeping the output current constant regardless of loading. The current being copied can be, and… …
5Voltage 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 …
6Current transformer — A CT for operation on a 110 kV grid In electrical engineering, a current transformer (CT) is used for measurement of electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers (VT) (potential transformers (PT)), are known as …
7Current–voltage characteristic — Figure 1. I–V curve of a P–N junction diode (not to scale). A current–voltage characteristic is a relationship, typically represented as a chart or graph, between an electric current and a corresponding voltage, or potential difference. In… …
8Overdrive voltage — Overdrive voltage, usually abbreviated as VOV, is typically referred to in the context of MOSFET transistors. The overdrive voltage is defined as the voltage between transistor gate and source (VGS) in excess of the threshold voltage (Vt) where… …
9Velocity saturation — In semiconductors, when a strong enough electric field is applied, the carrier velocity in the semiconductor reaches a maximum value.cite web url = http://everything2.com/index.pl?node id=1321513 title = Velocity Saturation accessdate = 2006 10… …
10Inrush current — or input surge current refers to the maximum, instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. For example, incandescent light bulbs have high inrush currents until their filaments warm up and their resistance… …
