Electronic engineering

block diagram

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A simplified diagram of an electronic system, in which circuits, stages, units, or devices are shown as two-dimensional boxes with the internal wiring and detail circuitry omitted. This makes it ...

common ground

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A single ground-point connection shared by several portions of a circuit.

common impedance

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A single impedance shared by parts of a circuit. Because currents from the various parts flow through this impedance simultaneously, coupling (desired or undesired) can occur between them.

driven single sweep

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A single oscilloscope sweep that is initiated by the signal under observation.

digit

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A single symbol in a numbering system (e.g., 0 through 9 in the decimal system, or 0 or 1 in the binary system), whose value depends on its position in a group and on the radix of the particular ...

autotransformer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A single-winding transformer in which the primary coil is a fraction of the entire winding for voltage step-up, or the secondary coil is a fraction of the entire winding for voltage step-down.
