current hogging

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. An undesirable condition that sometimes takes place when two or more transistors are operated in parallel. One device tends to do all the work, taking all the current. The result can be ...

AND gate

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. AND circuit. 2. In a TV receiver, an AND circuit that holds the keyed-AGC signal off until a positive horizontal flyback pulse and a horizontal sync pulse appear simultaneously at the input.

black box

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. Any “box” or “block” that can be included in an analysis or synthesis based upon the black-box concept. 2. Any functional unit (such as a module) whose operating characteristics are known, and ...

1. Any device or circuit, such as a series-resonant circuit, that provides relatively easy transmission of a signal, in effect accepting the signal. 2. A hole-rich impurity added to a semiconductor ...

booster

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. Any device used to increase the amplitude of a signal (e.g., as an amplifier or preamplifier) or of an energy source (e.g., to boost the output of a power supply). 2. A radio-frequency ...

acoustic transducer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. Any device, such as headphones or a loudspeaker, for converting audiofrequency electrical signals into sound waves. 2. Any device, such as a microphone, for converting sound waves into ...

analyzer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. Any instrument that permits analysis through close measurements and tests (e.g., distortion analyzer, wave analyzer, or gas analyzer). 2. A computer program used for debugging purposes; it ...
