  2. Charge-pump phase-locked loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge-pump_phase-locked_loop

    Denote by the PFD pulse width (length of the time interval, where the PFD output is a non-zero constant), multiplied by the sign of the PFD output: i.e. = (()) for [,) and = for =. If the VCO trailing edge hits before the Ref trailing edge, then τ k < 0 {\displaystyle \tau _{k}<0} and in the opposite case we have τ k > 0 {\displaystyle \tau ...

  3. Position sensitive device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensitive_device

    The 2-D tetra-lateral PSD has the advantages of fast response, much lower dark current, easy bias application and lower fabrication cost. Its measurement accuracy and resolution is independent of the spot shape and size unlike the quadrant detector which could be easily changed by air turbulence. However, it suffers from the nonlinearity problem.

  4. Phase detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_detector

    A phase frequency detector (PFD) is an asynchronous circuit originally made of four flip-flops (i.e., the phase-frequency detectors found in both the RCA CD4046 and the motorola MC4344 ICs introduced in the 1970s). The logic determines which of the two signals has a zero-crossing earlier or more often.

  5. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    The design of the saturable inductor current sensor is similar to that of a closed-loop Hall-effect current sensor; the only difference is that this method uses the saturable inductor instead of the Hall-effect sensor in the air gap. Saturable inductor current sensor is based on the detection of an inductance change. The saturable inductor is ...

  6. Insulation monitoring device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation_monitoring_device

    An insulation monitoring device monitors the ungrounded system between an active phase conductor and earth.It is intended to give an alert (light and sound) or disconnect the power supply when the resistance between the two conductors drops below a set value, usually 50 kΩ (sample of IEC standard for medical applications).

  7. Detector (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detector_(radio)

    In radio, a detector is a device or circuit that extracts information from a modulated radio frequency current or voltage. The term dates from the first three decades of radio (1888–1918). The term dates from the first three decades of radio (1888–1918).

  8. Envelope detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_detector

    Envelope detectors are often a component of other circuits, such as a compressor or an auto-wah or envelope-followed filter. In these circuits, the envelope follower is part of what is known as the " side chain ", a circuit which describes some characteristic of the input, in this case its volume.

  9. Partial discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_discharge

    When PD, arcing or sparking occurs, electromagnetic waves propagate away from the fault site in all directions which contact the transformer tank and travel to earth (ground cable) where the HFCT is located to capture any EMI or EMP within the transformer, breaker, PT, CT, HV Cable, MCSG, LTC, LA, generator, large hv motors, etc. Detection of ...
