electronic circuit
electrical circuit containing active components such as transistors, valves or integrated circuits
phase-locked loop
control system generating an output signal whose phase is fixed relative to the phase of the input signal, keeping input and output frequencies the same
Schmitt trigger
electronic comparator circuit with hysteresis
clock gating
technique used in synchronous circuits for reducing dynamic power dissipation, by adding more logic to a circuit to prune the clock tree (disabling portions of the circuitry so that the flip-flops in them do not have to switch states)
current source
electrical component that conducts a fixed current, independent of the voltage across it
phase detector
frequency mixer, analog multiplier or logic circuit that generates a voltage signal which represents the difference in phase between two signal inputs; part of a phase-locked loop
frequency synthesizer
electronic system for generating any of a range of frequencies
electronic mixer
a circuit for summing or subtracting value of several input signals (voltages or currents)
Lin amplifier
electronic power amplifier topology
