  2. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    The Smith chart (sometimes also called Smith diagram, Mizuhashi chart (水橋チャート), Mizuhashi–Smith chart (水橋スミスチャート), [1] [2] [3] Volpert–Smith chart (Диаграмма Вольперта—Смита) [4] [5] or Mizuhashi–Volpert–Smith chart) is a graphical calculator or nomogram designed for electrical and electronics engineers specializing in radio ...

  3. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

    Unlike a linear power supply, the pass transistor [a] of a switching-mode supply continually switches between low-dissipation, full-on and full-off states, and spends very little time in the high-dissipation transitions, which minimizes wasted energy. Voltage regulation is achieved by varying the ratio of on-to-off time (also known as duty ...

  4. Bode plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bode_plot

    Using this frequency, the Bode phase plot finds the phase of βA OL. If the phase of βA OL (f 0 dB) > −180°, the instability condition cannot be met at any frequency (because its magnitude is going to be < 1 when f = f 180), and the distance of the phase at f 0 dB in degrees above −180° is called the phase margin.

  5. AVR microcontrollers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVR_microcontrollers

    In 2006, Atmel released microcontrollers based on the 32-bit AVR32 architecture. This was a completely different architecture unrelated to the 8-bit AVR, intended to compete with the ARM-based processors. It had a 32-bit data path, SIMD and DSP instructions, along with other audio- and video-processing features. The instruction set was similar ...

  6. Failure rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_rate

    Failure rate is the frequency with which any system or component fails, expressed in failures per unit of time. It thus depends on the system conditions, time interval, and total number of systems under study. [1]

  7. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

    Ripple itself is a composite (non-sinusoidal) waveform consisting of harmonics of some fundamental frequency which is usually the original AC line frequency, but in the case of switched-mode power supplies, the fundamental frequency can be tens of kilohertz to megahertz. The characteristics and components of ripple depend on its source: there ...

  8. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    Another way to avoid the transformer inrush current is a "transformer switching relay". This does not need time for cool down. It can also deal with power-line half-wave voltage dips and is short-circuit-proof. This technique is important for IEC 61000-4-11 tests. Another option, particularly for high-voltage circuits, is to use a pre-charge ...

  9. Scattering parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters

    When expressed in logarithmic form, magnitude has the "dimensionless unit" of decibels. The S-parameter angle is most frequently expressed in degrees but occasionally in radians. Any S-parameter may be displayed graphically on a polar diagram by a dot for one frequency or a locus for a range of frequencies.
