  2. Bootstrapping (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    The bootstrap circuit uses a coupling capacitor, formed from the gate/source capacitance of a transistor, to drive a signal line to slightly greater than the supply voltage. [10] Some all-pMOS integrated circuits such as the Intel 4004 and the Intel 8008 use that 2-transistor "bootstrap load" circuit. [11] [12] [13]

  3. Charge pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_pump

    Two-stage charge pump with DC voltage supply and a pump control signal S 0 Dickson charge pump with diodes Dickson charge pump with MOSFETs PLL charge pump. A charge pump is a kind of DC-to-DC converter that uses capacitors for energetic charge storage to raise or lower voltage.

  4. Time base generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_base_generator

    A time base generator (also timebase or time base) is a special type of function generator, an electronic circuit that generates a varying voltage to produce a particular waveform. Time base generators produce very high frequency sawtooth waves specifically designed to deflect the beam of a cathode ray tube (CRT) smoothly across the face of the ...

  5. Dynamo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo

    "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...

  6. Generator (circuit theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(circuit_theory)

    A generator in electrical circuit theory is one of two ideal elements: an ideal voltage source, or an ideal current source. [1] These are two of the fundamental elements in circuit theory. Real electrical generators are most commonly modelled as a non-ideal source consisting of a combination of an ideal source and a resistor.

  7. Sweep generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweep_generator

    A sweep generator is a piece of electronic test equipment similar to, and sometimes included on, a function generator which creates an electrical waveform with a linearly varying frequency and a constant amplitude. Sweep generators are commonly used to test the frequency response of electronic filter circuits.

  8. Function generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_generator

    An electronic circuit element used for generating waveforms within other apparatus that can be used in communications and instrumentation circuits, and also in a function generator instrument. Examples are the Exar XR2206 [ 7 ] and the Intersil ICL8038 integrated circuits [ citation needed ] , which can generate sine, square, triangle, ramp ...

  9. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    An induction generator draws reactive excitation current from an external source. Induction generators have an AC rotor and cannot bootstrap using residual magnetization to black start a de-energized distribution system as synchronous machines do. Power factor correcting capacitors can be added externally to neutralize a constant amount of the ...
