  2. Unijunction transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unijunction_transistor

    It acts exclusively as an electrically controlled switch. The UJT is not used as a linear amplifier. It is used in free-running oscillators, synchronized or triggered oscillators, and pulse generation circuits at low to moderate frequencies (hundreds of kilohertz). It is widely used in the triggering circuits for silicon controlled rectifiers.

  3. Silicon controlled rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_controlled_rectifier

    A silicon-controlled switch (SCS) behaves nearly the same way as an SCR; but there are a few differences. Unlike an SCR, an SCS switches off when a positive voltage/input current is applied to another anode gate lead. Unlike an SCR, an SCS can be triggered into conduction when a negative voltage/output current is applied to that same lead.

  4. Current-mode logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current-mode_logic

    Current mode logic (CML), or source-coupled logic (SCL), is a digital design style used both for logic gates and for board-level digital signaling of digital data. The basic principle of CML is that current from a constant current generator is steered between two alternate paths depending on whether a logic zero or logic one is being represented.

  5. Switching control techniques - Wikipedia

    Fig. 2. EMI noise of output voltage for programmed switching frequency (PWM): a) Spectrum and b) Spectrogram. PWM is considered the most common deterministic technique. Considering the example of a DC-DC converter, a controlled switch is designed to “cut-off” the DC waveform into a pulse-shaped waveform.

  7. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    For all the chopper configurations operating from a fixed DC input voltage, the average value of the output voltage is controlled by periodic opening and closing of the switches used in the chopper circuit. The average output voltage can be controlled by different techniques namely: Pulse-width modulation; Frequency modulation

  8. TRIAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIAC

    In addition, applying a trigger at a controlled phase angle of the AC in the main circuit allows control of the average current flowing into a load (phase control). This is commonly used for controlling the speed of a universal motor , dimming lamps, and controlling electric heaters.

  9. Dependent source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_source

    A simple electric circuit made up of a voltage source and a resistor. Here, =, according to Ohm's Law. In the theory of electrical networks, a dependent source is a voltage source or a current source whose value depends on a voltage or current elsewhere in the network.
