2. Open collector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_collector

   Open emitter output exposes the emitter as the output. [2] For an NPN open emitter output, the collector is connected to the positive voltage rail, so the emitter outputs a high voltage when the transistor is on and is hi-Z when off. For a PNP open emitter output, the collector is connected to the low voltage supply, so the emitter outputs a ...

3. Capacitive power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_power_supply

   A capacitive power supply usually has a rectifier and filter to generate a direct current from the reduced alternating voltage. Such a supply comprises a capacitor, C1 whose reactance limits the current flowing through the rectifier bridge D1. A resistor, R1, connected in series with it protects against voltage spikes during switching operations.

4. Emitter-coupled logic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emitter-coupled_logic

   The value of the supply voltage is chosen so that sufficient current flows through the compensating diodes D1 and D2 and the voltage drop across the common emitter resistor R E is adequate. ECL circuits available on the open market usually operated with logic levels incompatible with other families.

5. Decoupling (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoupling_(electronics)

   Another common example of the use of decoupling capacitors is across the emitter bias resistor of transistor common emitter amplifiers to prevent the resistor absorbing a portion of the AC output power of the amplifier. Lossy ferrite beads may also be used to isolate or 'island' sections of circuitry. These add a high series impedance (in ...

6. Bootstrapping (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(electronics)

   A capacitor (usually referred as bootstrap capacitor) is connected from the output of the amplifier to the bias circuit, providing bias voltages that exceed the power supply voltage. Emitter followers can provide rail-to-rail output in this way, which is a common technique in class AB audio amplifiers.

   A short circuit, open circuit, or other disruption of a power system. fax Facsimile, the transmission of paper images by radio or by wire. feed forward A control system that adjusts the controlled variable based on a model of the process and measurements of disturbances, instead of feedback from measurement of the process. feedback amplifier

8. Common collector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_collector

   The transistor continuously monitors V diff and adjusts its emitter voltage to equal V in minus the mostly constant V BE (approximately one diode forward voltage drop) by passing the collector current through the emitter resistor R E. As a result, the output voltage follows the input voltage variations from V BE up to V +; hence the name ...

9. Low-dropout regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-dropout_regulator

   Low-dropout (LDO) regulators operate similarly to all linear voltage regulators.The main difference between LDO and non-LDO regulators is their schematic topology.Instead of an emitter follower topology, low-dropout regulators consist of an open collector or open drain topology, where the transistor may be easily driven into saturation with the voltages available to the regulator.
