Current crowding — (also current crowding effect, or CCE) is a nonhomogenous distribution of current density through a conductor or semiconductor, especially at the vicinity of the contacts and over the PN junctions. Current crowding is one of the limiting factors… … Wikipedia
Current limiting — is the practice in electrical or electronic circuits of imposing an upper limit on the current that may be delivered to a load with the purpose of protecting the circuit generating or transmitting the current from harmful effects due to a short… … Wikipedia

Current mode logic — (CML), or source coupled logic (SCL), is a differential digital logic family intended to transmit data at speeds between 312.5 Mbit/s and 3.125 Gbit/s over a standard printed circuit board.[1] CML termination scheme The transmission … Wikipedia
Emitter-coupled logic — Motorola ECL 10,000 basic gate circuit diagram[1] In electronics, emitter coupled logic (ECL), is a logic family that achieves high speed by using an overdriven BJT differential amplifier with single ended input, whose emitter current is limited… … Wikipedia
Current source — Figure 1: An ideal current source, I, driving a resistor, R, and creating a voltage V A current source is an electrical or electronic device that delivers or absorbs electric current. A current source is the dual of a voltage source. The term… … Wikipedia
Current mirror — A current mirror is a circuit designed to copy a current through one active device by controlling the current in another active device of a circuit, keeping the output current constant regardless of loading. The current being copied can be, and… … Wikipedia
Current-to-voltage converter — In electronics, a transimpedance amplifier is an amplifier that converts current to voltage. Its input ideally has zero impedance, and the input signal is a current. Its output may have low impedance, or in high frequency applications, may be… … Wikipedia
