Zener Vs Avalanche Breakdown
Zener Vs Avalanche Breakdown Break Down Mechanisms Zener Vs Avalanche Breakdown: When an ordinary P-N junction diode is reverse biased, normally only very small reverse saturation current flows. This current…
Potentiometer | working, application
Potentiometer A potentiometer is a variable resistor that is used to convert a linear or angular displacement into voltage. Since the resistance varies according to the linear/angular displacement of sliding/wiper…
Block Diagram Reduction Technique
Block Diagram Reduction Technique Block Diagram Reduction Technique: A block diagram is a diagrammatic representation of the cause-and-effect relationship between the input and output of a physical system represented by…
Schottky Barrier Diode
Schottky Barrier Diode Schottky Barrier Diode is a simple metal-semiconductor interface exhibiting anon-linear impedance and is basically an extension of the point-contact diode. When the diodes are forward biases current…
Transmission Errors
Transmission Errors No physical medium can guarantee error-free transmission of data. Errors occur because of interference from the environment surrounding the transmission medium or because of artifacts introduced by the…
Colour Signal Transmission
Colour Signal Transmission Colour Signal Transmission: The colour video signal contains two independent pieces of information, that of hue and saturation. It is a difficult matter to modulate them to…
Solid-State Image Scanners
Solid-State Image Scanners Solid-State Image Scanners: The operation of solid-state image scanners is based on the functioning of charge-coupled devices (CCDs) which is a new concept in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) circuitry.…
Plotter | Types – Drum Plotter, Flatbed Plotter
Plotter A plotter is a computer printing device for printing vector graphics. In the past, plotters were widely used in applications such as computer-aided design, though they have generally been…
Emitter-Coupled Logic (ECL)
Emitter-Coupled Logic (ECL) Emitter-Coupled Logic (ECL): The ECL family is the fastest logic family in the group of bipolar logic families. The characteristic features that give this logic family its…
Tunable Optical Filters
Tunable Optical Filters Tunable optical filters are active components that are mostly used at the receiver end of a WDM system. As the name suggests, its main function is to…
