Study Notes
Circuit Analysis and Components
- Equivalent Resistance: The total resistance of parallel resistors is less than the smallest individual resistance.
- Inductive Loads: Inductive loads can cause voltage spikes, requiring circuit protection with coils to prevent blowback.
- Transformers: Transformers consist of two coils wound around a common iron core.
- Capacitors: Capacitors primarily pass direct current (DC) and filter alternating current (AC).
- Diodes: Diodes regulate current flow, predominantly in one direction.
- Circuits: The sum of currents entering and leaving any point in a circuit is zero.
Transformer and Rectifier Concepts
- Turns Ratio: A transformer's turns ratio relates the input voltage to the output voltage.
- Output Voltage: The output voltage of a transformer is determined by the input voltage and the turns ratio.
- Rectification: Converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) involves rectifiers.
- Full Wave Rectifier: Full wave rectification using diodes converts AC to DC and produces a reduced signal ripple.
- Common Components: Resistors, capacitors, and inductors are common components in circuit design.
Digital Logic Gates
- Cable Structure: A coaxial cable consists of a central conducting wire separated by an insulator from an outer conducting cylinder. Various twisted-pair configurations, plain wires and coaxial cables are typical.
- Digital Gates: Logic circuits use NAND and NOR gates. The specific example mentions RS-NAND latch and the number of gates.
