  2. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    An inrush current limiter is a device or devices combination used to limit inrush current. Passive resistive components such as resistors (with power dissipation drawback), or negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors are simple options while the positive one (PTC) is used to limit max current afterward as the circuit has been operating (with cool-down time drawback on both).

  3. Window detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_detector

    window detector circuit diagram. A window detector circuit, also called window comparator circuit or dual edge limit detector circuits is used to determine whether an unknown input is between two precise reference threshold voltages. [1] It employs two comparators to detect over-voltage or under-voltage. [2]

  4. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    Fluxgate sensors or Saturable inductor current sensors work on the same measurement principle as Hall-effect-based current sensors: the magnetic field created by the primary current to be measured is detected by a specific sensing element. The design of the saturable inductor current sensor is similar to that of a closed-loop Hall-effect ...

  5. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

    An inrush current limiter is a component used to limit inrush current to avoid gradual damage to components and avoid blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers. Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors and fixed resistors are often used to limit inrush current. NTC thermistors can be used as inrush-current limiting devices in power ...

  6. Emitter-coupled logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emitter-coupled_logic

    The logic was also called a current-mode circuit. [12] It was also used to make the IBM Advanced Solid Logic Technology (ASLT) circuits in the IBM 360/91. [13] [14] [15] Yourke's current switch was a differential amplifier whose input logic levels were different from the output logic levels.

  7. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  8. Load line (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    The intersections of the load line with the transistor characteristic curves represent the circuit-constrained values of I C and V CE at different base currents. [2] If the transistor could pass all the current available, with no voltage dropped across it, the collector current would be the supply voltage V CC over R L. This is the point where ...

  9. TL431 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TL431

    Reference voltage vs free-air temperature at test conditions. Design-center (middle plot) and worst-case deviation of ±2% (upper and lower plots) [12] The nominal reference voltage, V REF =2.495 V, stated in a datasheet, is tested in zener mode at an ambient temperature of +25 °C (77 °F), and I CA =10 mA.
