Voltage clamp — The voltage clamp is used by electrophysiologists to measure the ion currents across a neuronal membrane while holding the membrane voltage at a set level. Neuronal membranes contain many different kinds of ion channels, some of which are voltage … Wikipedia
Voltage multiplier — Villard cascade voltage multiplier. A voltage multiplier is an electrical circuit that converts AC electrical power from a lower voltage to a higher DC voltage, typically by means of a network of capacitors and diodes. Voltage multipliers can be… … Wikipedia
clamping circuit — noun : a device that maintains at a constant value the positive or the negative extreme of voltage in an alternating current circuit … Useful english dictionary
Transient voltage suppression diode — A transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode is an electronic component used to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes induced on connected wires. It is also commonly referred to as a transorb, after the brand name TranZorb registered… … Wikipedia
Clamper (electronics) — Not to be confused with voltage clamp. Positive unbiased voltage clamping shifts the amplitude of the input waveform so that all parts of it are greater than 0 V A clamper is an electronic circuit that prevents a signal from exceeding a… … Wikipedia

Schottky diode — The Schottky diode (named after German physicist Walter H. Schottky; also known as hot carrier diode) is a semiconductor diode with a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action.In the early days of wireless, cat s whisker detectors … Wikipedia
Holding current — The holding current in a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is the minimum current which must pass through the device in order for it to remain in the ON state. If the current falls below this point even briefly, the device may turn off.… … Wikipedia
Clipper (electronics) — Voltage clipping limits the voltage to a device without affecting the rest of the waveform In electronics, a clipper is a device designed to prevent the output of a circuit from exceeding a predetermined voltage level without distorting the… … Wikipedia
Varistor — A 385 volt metal oxide varistor A varistor is an electronic component with a diode like nonlinear current–voltage characteristic. The name is a portmanteau of variable resistor. Varistors are often used to protect circuits against excessive… … Wikipedia
Surge protector — A surge protector is an appliance designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes. A surge protector attempts to regulate the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or by shorting to ground voltages above a safe… … Wikipedia
