Electronic engineering

discontinuity

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A break in a conductor. 2. A point at which the impedance in a transmission line abruptly changes.

buffer storage

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A buffer that is used to interface between data systems with different rates of transmission. 2. See buffer, 2.

diode capacitor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A capacitor normally operated with a diode. 2. A voltage-variable capacitor utilizing the junction capacitance of a semiconductor diode (e.g., a varactor).

1. A capacitor that has a temperature coefficient of capacitance numerically equal to, but having the opposite sign from, that of another capacitor in a tank or other circuit. When the capacitors are ...

decoupling capacitor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A capacitor that provides a low-impedance path to ground to prevent undesired stray coupling among the circuits in a system. 2. The capacitive member of a resistance-capacitance (RC) decoupling ...

battery holder

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A case or container of any kind for holding a cell or battery. 2. A shelf for holding a cell or battery. 3. A small, metal bracket-type device for holding a cell or battery between two contacts.

ceramic dielectric

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A ceramic used as a dielectric in capacitors. Examples: barium titanate, barium strontium titanate, and titanium dioxide. Ceramic dielectrics provide high dielectric constant. 2. A ceramic used ...
