Electronic engineering

backward diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor diode manufactured in such a way that its high-current flow occurs when the junction is reverse biased. Such a diode is also a negative-resistance device.

A semiconductor diode that continues to conduct after the forward voltage is reduced below the normal threshold point. To stop the conduction, a reverse voltage must be applied, or voltage must be ...

autopatch

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A remotely controllable device that interconnects a radio-communications system into a telephone network.

dust cover

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A removable, usually plastic cover for electronic and computer equipment, to protect hardware during periods of nonuse.

drop repeater

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A repeater intended for a termination of a communications circuit in a telephone system.

delayed repeater

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A repeater that receives and stores information, and retransmits the information later, in response to a switching or interrogation signal.

control characteristic

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A representation (such as a collector-current versus collector-voltage curve) depicting the extent to which the value of one quantity affects or controls the value of another.
