  2. Clamper (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    A positive clamp circuit (negative peak clamper) outputs a purely positive waveform from an input signal; it offsets the input signal so that all of the waveform is greater than 0 V. A negative clamp is the opposite of this—this clamp outputs a purely negative waveform from an input signal.

  3. English: What it does is use diode clamps to eliminate over and undershoot. The "trick" is that instead of clamping to +5 and GND they clamp to the output of two regulated voltages. This allows the clamping diodes to turn on earlier and is therefore better at eliminating overshoot and undershoot.

  4. Baker clamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_clamp

    Baker clamp is a generic name for a class of electronic circuits that reduce the storage time of a switching bipolar junction transistor (BJT) by applying a nonlinear negative feedback through various kinds of diodes. The reason for slow turn-off times of saturated BJTs is the stored charge in the base.

  5. Transient-voltage-suppression diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient-voltage...

    A transient-voltage-suppression diode can respond to over-voltages faster than other common over-voltage protection components such as varistors or gas discharge tubes. The actual clamping occurs in roughly one picosecond, but in a practical circuit the inductance of the wires leading to the device imposes a higher limit. This makes transient ...

  6. Schottky transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schottky_transistor

    When forward-biased, a Schottky diode's voltage drop 0.25 V is much less than a standard silicon diode's 0.6 V. In a standard saturated transistor, the base-to-collector voltage is 0.6 V. In a Schottky transistor, the Schottky diode shunts current from the base into the collector before the transistor goes into saturation.

    In a mouse study, researchers found that zolpidem (Ambien), a common sleep aid, could prevent the brain from effectively clearing up 'waste', though it remains unclear whether this could affect ...

  8. Diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode

    This simple diode clamp will clamp the negative peaks of the incoming waveform to the common rail voltage. A diode clamp circuit can take a periodic alternating current signal that oscillates between positive and negative values, and vertically displace it such that either the positive or the negative peaks occur at a prescribed level. The ...

    A man who returned to his Alaska hometown took to social media to document the inflated prices of food and drinks, including an $11 box of cereal. Still, he says it's someplace he'd live again.
