  2. ESR meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESR_meter

    Measuring ESR can be done by applying an alternating voltage at a frequency at which the capacitor's reactance is negligible, in a voltage divider configuration. It is easy to check ESR well enough for troubleshooting by using an improvised ESR meter comprising a simple square-wave generator and oscilloscope, or a sinewave generator of a few tens of kilohertz and an AC voltmeter, using a known ...

  3. Current–voltage characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current–voltage...

    In this type the resistance varies with the applied voltage or current. Negative resistance vs positive resistance: If the I–V curve has a positive slope (increasing to the right) throughout, it represents a positive resistance. An I–V curve that is nonmonotonic (having peaks and valleys) represents a device which has negative resistance.

  4. Safe operating area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_operating_area

    Illustration of safe operating area of a bipolar power transistor. Any combination of collector current and voltage below the line can be tolerated by the transistor. SOA is usually presented in transistor datasheets as a graph with V CE (collector-emitter voltage) on the abscissa and I CE (collector-emitter current) on the ordinate ; the safe ...

  5. Current source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_source

    One is its internal resistance and the other is its compliance voltage. The compliance voltage is the maximum voltage that the current source can supply to a load. Over a given load range, it is possible for some types of real current sources to exhibit nearly infinite internal resistance.

  6. Internal resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_resistance

    In practice, the internal resistance of a battery is dependent on its size, state of charge, chemical properties, age, temperature, and the discharge current. It has an electronic component due to the resistivity of the component materials and an ionic component due to electrochemical factors such as electrolyte conductivity , ion mobility ...

  7. Output impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_impedance

    Internal resistance varies with the age of a battery, but for most commercial batteries the internal resistance is on the order of 1 ohm. When there is a current through a cell, the measured e.m.f. is lower than when there is no current delivered by the cell.

  8. MOSFET - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOSFET

    In electronics, the metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, MOS FET, or MOS transistor) is a type of field-effect transistor (FET), most commonly fabricated by the controlled oxidation of silicon. It has an insulated gate, the voltage of which determines the conductivity of the device.

  9. Widlar current source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widlar_current_source

    Output resistance is found using a small-signal model for the circuit, shown in Figure 2. Transistor Q 1 is replaced by its small-signal emitter resistance r E because it is diode connected. [10] Transistor Q 2 is replaced with its hybrid-pi model. A test current I x is attached at the output.
