Mélangeur (électronique)
Un mélangeur est un circuit permettant de combiner plusieurs signaux électriques contenant des informations différentes. Console de mixage En technique audio et vidéo, un mélangeur est un appareil à plusieurs entrées, dont le signal de sortie est la somme pondérée de signaux à ses entrées. Quand il traite des signaux audio et qu'il permet des interventions humaines, on l'appelle plutôt console de mixage. En vidéo on parle de mélangeurs. Les mélangeurs traitent les signaux analogiques ou numériques.
Precision rectifier
The precision rectifier is a configuration obtained with an operational amplifier in order to have a circuit behave like an ideal diode and rectifier. It is very useful for high-precision signal processing. With the help of a precision rectifier the high-precision signal processing can be done very easily. The op-amp-based precision rectifier should not be confused with the power MOSFET-based active rectification ideal diode. The basic circuit implementing such a feature is shown on the right, where can be any load.
Power semiconductor device
A power semiconductor device is a semiconductor device used as a switch or rectifier in power electronics (for example in a switch-mode power supply). Such a device is also called a power device or, when used in an integrated circuit, a power IC. A power semiconductor device is usually used in "commutation mode" (i.e., it is either on or off), and therefore has a design optimized for such usage; it should usually not be used in linear operation. Linear power circuits are widespread as voltage regulators, audio amplifiers, and radio frequency amplifiers.
