  2. Current source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_source

    Nonetheless, it is often the case that such a circuit will provide adequate performance when the specified current and load resistance are small. For example, a 5 V voltage source in series with a 4.7 kΩ resistor will provide an approximately constant current of 1 mA ± 5% to a load resistance in the range of 50 to 450 Ω.

  3. 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.

  4. Open-circuit time constant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_time_constant...

    The y-axis is the ratio of the OCTC (open-circuit time constant) estimate to the true time constant. For the lowest pole use curve T_1; this curve refers to the corner frequency; and for the higher pole use curve T_2. The worst agreement is for τ 1 = τ 2. In this case τ ^ 1 = 2 τ 1 and the corner frequency is a factor of 2 too small. The ...

  5. Constant current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_current

    In electronics, a constant current system is one that varies the voltage across a load to maintain a constant electric current.When a component is indicated to be driven by a constant current, the driver circuit is, in essence, a current regulator and must appear to the component as a current source of suitable reliability.

  6. Generator (circuit theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(circuit_theory)

    A generator in electrical circuit theory is one of two ideal elements: an ideal voltage source, or an ideal current source. [1] These are two of the fundamental elements in circuit theory. Real electrical generators are most commonly modelled as a non-ideal source consisting of a combination of an ideal source and a resistor.

  7. Widlar current source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widlar_current_source

    Current in the reference transistor Q 1 is held constant, thereby fixing the compliance voltage. Plots assume I C1 = 10 mA, V A = 50 V, V CC = 5 V, I S = 10 fA, β 1, = 100 independently of current. The current dependence of the resistances r π and r O is discussed in the article hybrid-pi model. The current dependence of the resistor values is:

  8. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    The tuning application, for instance, is an example of band-pass filtering. The RLC filter is described as a second-order circuit, meaning that any voltage or current in the circuit can be described by a second-order differential equation in circuit analysis. The three circuit elements, R, L and C, can be combined in a number of different ...

  9. Network analysis (electrical circuits) - Wikipedia

    Therefore, there are N-1 node voltages for a circuit with N nodes. [2]: 2-10 In principle, nodal analysis uses Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) at N-1 nodes to get N-1 independent equations. Since equations generated with KCL are in terms of currents going in and out of nodes, these currents, if their values are not known, need to be represented ...
