WordDefinition
power gatinga technique used in integrated circuit design to reduce power consumption, by shutting off the current to blocks of the circuit that are not in use.
clock generatornoun(computing, electronics) a circuit that produces a timing signal for use in synchronizing a circuit's operation.
clock signalnoun(computing) A signal that oscillates between a high and a low state and is used like a metronome to coordinate actions of digital circuits.
synchronous circuitIn digital electronics, a synchronous circuit is a digital circuit in which the changes in the state of memory elements are synchronized by a clock signal.
self-clocking signalIn telecommunications and electronics, a self-clocking signal is one that can be decoded without the need for a separate clock signal or other source of synchronization.
battery eliminator circuitIn battery-powered equipment, a battery eliminator circuit is an electronic voltage regulator used to power a subsystem at a different voltage without the need for a supplemental battery.
asynchronous circuitAsynchronous circuit (clockless or self-timed circuit) is a sequential digital logic circuit that does not use a global clock circuit or signal generator to synchronize its components.
phase-fired controllerPhase-fired control, also called phase cutting or phase-angle control, is a method for power limiting, applied to AC voltages.
clock domain crossingIn digital electronic design a clock domain crossing, or simply clock crossing, is the traversal of a signal in a synchronous digital circuit from one clock domain into another.
clocknounA chronometer, an instrument that measures time, particularly the time of day.
dynamic voltage scalingIn computer architecture, dynamic voltage scaling is a power management technique in which the voltage used in a component is increased or decreased, depending upon circumstances.
pre-chargenounAlternative form of precharge. [before a charge]
static timing analysisa simulation method of computing the expected timing of a synchronous digital circuit without requiring a simulation of the full circuit.
disconnectornoun(electrical engineering) A switching device used to open an electric circuit when there is no current through it. They are used to isolate a part of an electrical system to allow the maintenance staff a safe access to it.
adaptive voltage scalinga closed-loop dynamic power minimization technique that adjusts the voltage supplied to a computer chip to match the chip's power needs during operation.
active rectificationActive rectification, or synchronous rectification, is a technique for improving the efficiency of rectification by replacing diodes with actively controlled switches, usually power MOSFETs or power bipolar junction transistors.
time switchnoun(electrical engineering) A switch activated automatically at a preset time.
chokeverb(intransitive) To be unable to breathe because of obstruction of the windpipe (for instance food or other objects that go down the wrong way, or fumes or particles in the air that cause the throat to constrict).
power managementa feature of some electrical appliances, especially copiers, computers, computer CPUs, computer GPUs and computer peripherals such as monitors and printers, that turns off the power or switches the system to a low-power state when inactive.
