  2. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    A discharged or partially charged capacitor appears as a short circuit to the source when the source voltage is higher than the potential of the capacitor. A fully discharged capacitor will take approximately 5 RC time periods to fully charge; during the charging period, instantaneous current can exceed steady-state current by a substantial ...

  3. 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.

  4. Successive-approximation ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive-approximation_ADC

    One of the most common SAR ADC implementations uses a charge-scaling DAC consisting of an array of individually-switched capacitors sized in powers of two and an additional duplicate of the smallest capacitor, for a total of N+1 capacitors for N bits. Thus if the largest capacitance is C, then the array's total capacitance is 2C. The switched ...

  5. Switched capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_capacitor

    A simple switched-capacitor parasitic-sensitive integrator. Switched-capacitor simulated resistors can replace the input resistor in an op amp integrator to provide accurate voltage gain and integration. One of the earliest of these circuits is the parasitic-sensitive integrator developed by the Czech engineer Bedrich Hosticka. [3]

  6. HP-41C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-41C

    Memory modules added RAM main memory to the calculator, allowing more programming steps and/or more data registers. The original HP-41C had a main memory of 63 registers of 7 bytes each. Each register could hold either a number, a 6-character string, or up to seven program steps in the FOCAL language (program steps used a variable number of bytes).

  7. Calculator (Apple) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_(Apple)

    The Mac OS Calculator as it shipped in 1984, with System 1. The Calculator program has a long associated history with the beginning of the Macintosh platform, where a simple four-function calculator program was a standard desk accessory from the earliest Mac operating system versions.

  8. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    In the short-time limit, if the capacitor starts with a certain voltage V, since the voltage drop on the capacitor is known at this instant, we can replace it with an ideal voltage source of voltage V. Specifically, if V=0 (capacitor is uncharged), the short-time equivalence of a capacitor is a short circuit.

  9. Bleeder resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeder_resistor

    In electronics, a bleeder resistor, bleeder load, leakage resistor, capacitor discharge resistor or safety discharge resistor is a resistor connected in parallel with the output of a high-voltage power supply circuit for the purpose of discharging the electric charge stored in the power supply's filter capacitors when the equipment is turned off, for safety reasons.
