Amplificateur électroniquethumb|Un amplificateur audio à tubes. Un amplificateur électronique (ou amplificateur, ou ampli) est un système électronique augmentant la puissance d’un signal électrique. L’énergie nécessaire à l’amplification est tirée de l’alimentation électrique du système. Un amplificateur parfait ne déforme pas le signal d’entrée : sa sortie est une réplique exacte de l’entrée avec une amplitude majorée ou une impédance minorée. C'est donc un quadripôle actif à base d'un ou plusieurs composants actifs, le plus souvent des transistors.
Amplificateur opérationnelthumb|300px|Différents modèles d'amplificateurs opérationnels. thumb|300px|La représentation schématique d'un amplificateur opérationnel varie suivant les normes ANSI/IEEE et IEC 60617-13. Un amplificateur opérationnel (aussi dénommé ampli-op ou ampli op, AO, AOP, ALI ou AIL) est un amplificateur différentiel à grand gain : c'est un amplificateur électronique qui amplifie fortement une différence de potentiel électrique présente à ses entrées.
Differential amplifierA differential amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that amplifies the difference between two input voltages but suppresses any voltage common to the two inputs. It is an analog circuit with two inputs and and one output , in which the output is ideally proportional to the difference between the two voltages: where is the gain of the amplifier. Single amplifiers are usually implemented by either adding the appropriate feedback resistors to a standard op-amp, or with a dedicated integrated circuit containing internal feedback resistors.
Negative-feedback amplifierA negative-feedback amplifier (or feedback amplifier) is an electronic amplifier that subtracts a fraction of its output from its input, so that negative feedback opposes the original signal. The applied negative feedback can improve its performance (gain stability, linearity, frequency response, step response) and reduces sensitivity to parameter variations due to manufacturing or environment. Because of these advantages, many amplifiers and control systems use negative feedback.
Image numériqueL'appellation d'image numérique désigne toute (dessin, icône, photographie...) acquise, créée, traitée et stockée sous forme binaire : acquise par des convertisseurs analogique-numérique situés dans des dispositifs comme les scanners, les appareils photo ou les caméscopes numériques, les cartes d’acquisition vidéo (qui numérisent directement une source comme la télévision) créée directement par des programmes informatiques, grâce à une souris, des tablettes graphiques ou par de la modélisation 3D (ce que l’on appelle, par abus de langage, les « images de synthèse ») ; traitée grâce à des outils graphiques, de façon à la transformer, à en modifier la taille, les couleurs, d’y ajouter ou d'en supprimer des éléments, d’y appliquer des filtres variés stockée sur un support informatique (clé USB, SSD, disque dur, CD-ROM.
IntegratorAn integrator in measurement and control applications is an element whose output signal is the time integral of its input signal. It accumulates the input quantity over a defined time to produce a representative output. Integration is an important part of many engineering and scientific applications. Mechanical integrators are the oldest type and are still used for metering water flow or electrical power. Electronic analogue integrators are the basis of analog computers and charge amplifiers.
Active-pixel sensorAn active-pixel sensor (APS) is an , which was invented by Peter J.W. Noble in 1968, where each pixel sensor unit cell has a photodetector (typically a pinned photodiode) and one or more active transistors. In a metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) active-pixel sensor, MOS field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are used as amplifiers. There are different types of APS, including the early NMOS APS and the now much more common complementary MOS (CMOS) APS, also known as the CMOS sensor.
Digital image processingDigital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process s through an algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over . It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions (perhaps more) digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems.
Frequency compensationIn electronics engineering, frequency compensation is a technique used in amplifiers, and especially in amplifiers employing negative feedback. It usually has two primary goals: To avoid the unintentional creation of positive feedback, which will cause the amplifier to oscillate, and to control overshoot and ringing in the amplifier's step response. It is also used extensively to improve the bandwidth of single pole systems.
Back-illuminated sensorA back-illuminated sensor, also known as backside illumination (BI) sensor, is a type of digital that uses a novel arrangement of the imaging elements to increase the amount of light captured and thereby improve low-light performance. The technique was used for some time in specialized roles like low-light security cameras and astronomy sensors, but was complex to build and required further refinement to become widely used. Sony was the first to reduce these problems and their costs sufficiently to introduce a 5-megapixel 1.
