Electronic engineering

conoscope

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A device that uses focused polarized light to examine crystals (as in checking the optical axis of a quartz crystal).

A diode that is connected to regulate the voltage at the output of a power supply. The cathode is connected to a source of reference voltage. If the anode, connected to the source to be regulated, ...

diode sync separator

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diode used in a television receiver circuit to separate and deliver the sync pulses from the composite video signal.

clamping diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diode used to fix the voltage level of a signal at a particular reference point.

diode peak voltmeter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diode-type alternatingcurrent (ac) voltmeter, in which the deflection of the direct-current (dc) milliammeter or microammeter is proportional to the peak value of the applied ac voltage.

compound connection

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A direct connection of two transistors, the amplified output of the first being further amplified by the second. The connection provides extremely high current gain. Also called darlington pair.
