General Electronic terms-S
saw tooth
wave
The
Waveform's Resemblance to Teeth on blade of a saw gave
it the name Sawtooth Wave. It is also called Saw Wave.
These waves incline upwards and sharply drops down.
- schematic diagram
- Illustration of an
electronic circuit with the components represented
by their symbols.
-
- Schmitt trigger
- When an input signal to a digital circuit un-
matches the characteristics of a digital signal it
can have some sort of noise. This circumstance
require a specialized circuit that will modify a
signal and make it to actual or true digital shape.
The required circuit can be said as Schmitt Trigger.
But the trigger for this
circuit
to change forms is the input voltage state, instead
of a digital pulse or more simply we can say that
the output state depends on the input state
-
- Schottky diode
- High speed diode having very
little junction capacitance.
- secondary
- Output winding of a transformer.
Winding that is connected to a load.
-
- secondary cell
- Electrolytic cell used to store
electricity.
semiconductor
An element which is neither a good conductor or a good
insulator but mixture of two.
seven segment display
Device made of several light emitting
diodes arranged in a numeric or alphanumeric pattern.
slide switch
Switch having a sliding button.
square wave
Wave that alternates between two fixed
values for an equal amount of time
step-down transformer
Transformer in which the output AC
voltage < input AC voltage
step-up transformer
Transformer in which the output AC
voltage > input AC voltage
switching transistor
transistor made to change rapidly
between saturation and cut-off.
