  2. Blocking oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_oscillator

    When the absorber is in the primary circuit, e.g. a Zener diode (or LED) with voltage V z connected "backwards" across the primary windings, the current waveshape is a triangle with the time t open determined by the formula I p = I peak,m - V z ×T open /L p, here I peak,m being the primary current at the time the switch opens. When the ...

  3. Flyback diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_diode

    Diagram of a simple circuit with an inductance L and a flyback diode D.The resistor R represents the resistance of the inductor's windings. A flyback diode is any diode connected across an inductor used to eliminate flyback, which is the sudden voltage spike seen across an inductive load when its supply current is suddenly reduced or interrupted.

  4. Relay logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_logic

    Example Ladder Logic Diagram. The schematic diagrams for relay logic circuits are often called line diagrams, because the inputs and outputs are essentially drawn in a series of lines. A relay logic circuit is an electrical network consisting of lines, or rungs, in which each line or rung must have continuity to enable the output device. A ...

  5. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay

    Their drain pins are connected to either side of the output. The substrate diodes are alternately reverse biased to block current when the relay is off. When the relay is on, the common source is always riding on the instantaneous signal level and both gates are biased positive relative to the source by the photo-diode. [vague]

  6. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    Separable assembly or sub-assembly (e.g. printed circuit assembly) AT: Attenuator or isolator: BR: Bridge rectifier (four diodes in a package) often changed to "D" for diode BT, BAT: Battery or battery holder: often shortened to "B" C: Capacitor: CB: Circuit breaker: CN: Capacitor network: may be simplified to "C" for capacitor D, CR: Diode ...

  7. Voltage regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulator

    Block scheme for voltage regulator in an electronic circuit. A simple voltage/current regulator can be made from a resistor in series with a diode (or series of diodes). Due to the logarithmic shape of diode V-I curves, the voltage across the diode changes only slightly due to changes in current drawn or changes in the input.

  8. Diode logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_logic

    Diode circuit implementing AND in active-high logic. Note: in analog implementation exact output currents will be different from +5V supply. This circuit mirrors the previous gate: the diodes are reversed so that each input connects to the cathode of a diode and all anodes are connected together to the output, which has a pull-up resistor.

  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.
