  2. Power-on reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_reset

    On an IBM mainframe, a power-on reset (POR) is a sequence of actions that the processor performs either due to a POR request from the operator or as part of turning on power. The operator requests a POR for configuration changes that cannot be recognized by a simple System Reset .

  3. Glitch removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_removal

    A glitch (circled in red) occurring during circuit operation. Glitch removal is the elimination of glitches—unnecessary signal transitions without functionality—from electronic circuits.

  4. Phase resetting in neurons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_resetting_in_neurons

    Phase resetting in neurons is a behavior observed in different biological oscillators and plays a role in creating neural synchronization as well as different processes within the body. Phase resetting in neurons is when the dynamical behavior of an oscillation is shifted. This occurs when a stimulus perturbs the phase within an oscillatory ...

  5. Noise (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    Different types of noise are generated by different devices and different processes. Thermal noise is unavoidable at non-zero temperature (see fluctuation-dissipation theorem), while other types depend mostly on device type (such as shot noise, [1] [3] which needs a steep potential barrier) or manufacturing quality and semiconductor defects, such as conductance fluctuations, including 1/f noise.

  6. Cliff effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_effect

    In telecommunications, the (digital) cliff effect or brick-wall effect is a sudden loss of digital signal reception. Unlike analog signals , which gradually fade when signal strength decreases or electromagnetic interference or multipath increases, a digital signal provides data which is either perfect or non-existent at the receiving end.

  7. Resettable fuse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resettable_fuse

    The resetting will often not take place even if the fault alone has been removed with the power still flowing as the operating current may be above the holding current of the PPTC. The device may not return to its original resistance value; it will most likely stabilize at a significantly higher resistance (up to 4 times initial value).

  8. Digital reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_reset

    Digital reset or digitally reset may refer to: Digital reset (computing), the reset of a digital computer; Digital reset (electronics), a cleared latch-state in electronics; Digital reset (typesetting), a digitally prepared typeset for publication either from a previous digital typeset or a complete rework of a work previously published with ...

  9. Generation loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_loss

    In digital systems, several techniques such as lossy compression codecs and algorithms, used because of other advantages, may introduce generation loss and must be used with caution. However, copying a digital file itself incurs no generation loss—the copied file is identical to the original, provided a perfect copying channel is used.
