    U, IC: 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

  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 ...

  4. 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.

    Circuit breaker – resettable fuse in the form of a mechanical switch; Resettable fuse or PolySwitch – circuit breaker action using solid state device; Ground-fault protection or residual-current device – circuit breaker sensitive to mains currents passing to ground; Metal oxide varistor (MOV), surge absorber, TVS – Over-voltage protection

  7. Integrated circuit design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit_design

    Engineer using an early IC-designing workstation to analyze a section of a circuit design cut on rubylith, circa 1979. Integrated circuit design, semiconductor design, chip design or IC design, is a sub-field of electronics engineering, encompassing the particular logic and circuit design techniques required to design integrated circuits, or ICs

  8. Integrated circuit layout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit_layout

    Layout view of a simple CMOS operational amplifier. In integrated circuit design, integrated circuit (IC) layout, also known IC mask layout or mask design, is the representation of an integrated circuit in terms of planar geometric shapes which correspond to the patterns of metal, oxide, or semiconductor layers that make up the components of the integrated circuit.

  9. Physical design (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    In integrated circuit design, physical design is a step in the standard design cycle which follows after the circuit design.At this step, circuit representations of the components (devices and interconnects) of the design are converted into geometric representations of shapes which, when manufactured in the corresponding layers of materials, will ensure the required functioning of the components.
