For example, the Intel 80486 uses hardwired circuitry to fetch and decode instructions, using microcode only to execute instructions; register-register move and arithmetic instructions required only one microinstruction, allowing them to be completed in one clock cycle. [21]
Many electric guitar players intentionally overdrive their amplifiers (or insert a "fuzz box") to cause clipping in order to get a desired sound (see guitar distortion).. Some audiophiles believe that the clipping behavior of vacuum tubes with little or no negative feedback is superior to that of transistors, in that vacuum tubes clip more gradually than transistors (i.e. soft clipping, and ...
Video amplifiers are designed to process video signals and have varying bandwidths depending on whether the video signal is for SDTV, EDTV, HDTV 720p or 1080i/p etc. The specification of the bandwidth itself depends on what kind of filter is used—and at which point (−1 dB or −3 dB for example) the bandwidth is measured. Certain ...
For example, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a typical mixed-signal circuit. Mixed-signal ICs are often used to convert analog signals to digital signals so that digital devices can process them. For example, mixed-signal ICs are essential components for FM tuners in digital products such as media players, which have digital amplifiers.
A microcode program that is executed by the processor during the microcode update process. [1] This microcode is able to reconfigure and enable or disable components using a special register, and it must update the breakpoint match registers. [1] Up to sixty patched micro-operations to be populated into the SRAM. [1]
The IGBT accounts for 27% of the power transistor market, second only to the power MOSFET (53%), and ahead of the RF amplifier (11%) and bipolar junction transistor (9%). [235] The IGBT is widely used in consumer electronics , industrial technology , the energy sector , aerospace electronic devices, and transportation.

A Software Video ProcAmp. Video ProcAmps can be used for processing standard-definition 525/30 625/25 or high-definition video signals. [3] ProcAmps can process video signals ranging from analog composite to SDI video signals. Common ProcAmp Controls: Brightness ; Contrast ; Saturation ; Hue ; Common ProcAmp features:
