Electronic engineering
anticapacitance switch
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A switch whose members are thin blades and stiff wires widely separated to minimize capacitance between them.
automatic shutoff
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A switching arrangement that automatically shuts off a device or circuit under certain specified conditions.
cryotron
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A switching device consisting essentially of a straight tantalum wire, around which a single-layer control coil is wound. The magnetic field generated by control current flowing through the coil ...
analog switch
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A switching device that will only pass signals that are faithful analogs of transducer parameters.
balanced multivibrator
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A switching oscillator circuit in which the two halves are identical in configuration, and as nearly identical as practicable in performance.
double-ended circuit
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A symmetrical circuit (i.e., one having identical halves, each operating on a half-cycle of the input signal). Example: a push-pull amplifier.
balanced detector
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A symmetrical demodulator, such as a full-wave diode detector or a discriminator.
