  2. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.

  3. 555 timer IC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_IC

    Once the capacitor's voltage drops below 1 ⁄ 3 V CC, the cycle repeats from step 1. During the first pulse, the capacitor charges from 0 V to 2 ⁄ 3 V CC, however, in later pulses, it only charges from 1 ⁄ 3 V CC to 2 ⁄ 3 V CC. Consequently, the first pulse has a longer high time interval compared to later pulses.

  4. Time clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_clock

    In mechanical time clocks, this was accomplished by inserting a heavy paper card, called a time card, into a slot on the time clock. When the time card hit a contact at the rear of the slot, the machine would print day and time information (a timestamp) on the card. One or more time cards could serve as a timesheet or provide the data to fill ...

  5. ESR meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESR_meter

    Measuring ESR can be done by applying an alternating voltage at a frequency at which the capacitor's reactance is negligible, in a voltage divider configuration. It is easy to check ESR well enough for troubleshooting by using an improvised ESR meter comprising a simple square-wave generator and oscilloscope, or a sinewave generator of a few tens of kilohertz and an AC voltmeter, using a known ...

  6. Software calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_calculator

    GNOME Calculator, a software calculator. A software calculator is a calculator that has been implemented as a computer program, rather than as a physical hardware device. They are among the simpler interactive software tools, and, as such, they provide operations for the user to select one at a time. They can be used to perform any process that ...

  7. Sample and hold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_and_hold

    In electronics, a sample and hold (also known as sample and follow) circuit is an analog device that samples (captures, takes) the voltage of a continuously varying analog signal and holds (locks, freezes) its value at a constant level for a specified minimum period of time. Sample and hold circuits and related peak detectors are the elementary ...

  8. Marx generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

    Marx generator diagrams; Although the left capacitor has the greatest charge rate, the generator is typically allowed to charge for a long period of time, and all capacitors eventually reach the same charge voltage. The circuit generates a high-voltage pulse by charging a number of capacitors in parallel, then suddenly connecting them in series ...

  9. Contamination delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contamination_delay

    Here, the contamination delay is the amount of time needed for a change in the flip-flop clock input to result in the initial change at the flip-flop output (Q). If there is insufficient delay from the output of the first flip-flop to the input of the second, the input may change before the hold time has passed. Because the second flip-flop is ...
