  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.

    Such an electron is collected by a suitable external readout integrated circuits (ROIC) and transformed into an electric signal. LEDs which are reverse-biased to act as photodiodes. See LEDs as photodiode light sensors. Photoresistors or Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) which change resistance according to light intensity. Normally the ...

  5. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    A reference designator unambiguously identifies the location of a component within an electrical schematic or on a printed circuit board.The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15.

  6. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

    Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

  7. Photoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_sensor

    The detecting range of a photoelectric sensor is its "field of view", or the maximum distance from which the sensor can retrieve information, minus the minimum distance. A minimum detectable object is the smallest object the sensor can detect. More accurate sensors can often have minimum detectable objects of minuscule size.

  8. Transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transducer

    A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another. Usually a transducer converts a signal in one form of energy to a signal in another. [1] Transducers are often employed at the boundaries of automation, measurement, and control systems, where electrical signals are converted to and from other physical quantities (energy, force, torque, light, motion, position, etc.).

  9. 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.
