  2. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoresistor

    A photoresistor can be used in light-sensitive detector circuits and light-activated and dark-activated switching circuits acting as a semiconductor resistance. In the dark, a photoresistor can have a resistance as high as several megaohms (MΩ), while in the light, it can have a resistance as low as a few hundred ohms.

  3. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    Common circuit diagram symbols (US ANSI symbols) An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    Integrated circuit (IC) shorter "U" (unit) is preferred instead of "IC" V: Vacuum tube: VR: Voltage regulator (voltage reference), or variable resistor (potentiometer / trimmer / rheostat) voltage regulators are often "U" for IC, pots and trimmers often "R" for resistor X

  6. Microbolometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbolometer

    Most microbolometers contain a temperature sensitive resistor which makes them a passive electronic device. In 1994 one company, Electro-Optic Sensor Design (EOSD), began looking into producing microbolometers that used a thin film transistor (TFT), which is a special kind of field effect transistor. The main change in these devices would be ...

  7. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  8. Infrared detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_detector

    An infrared detector is a detector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic (photodetectors). The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena. [2] Bolometers and microbolometers are based on changes in resistance.

  9. List of resistors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_resistors

    A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages , bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines , among other uses.
