Definition: Encoders (or binary encoders) are the combinational circuits that are used to change the applied input signal into a coded format at the output. These digital circuits come under the category of medium scale integrated circuit. Basically, these are used to minimize the number of data lines as well as to code the input …
Both LVDT and RVDT are basically sensors that are used to measure displacement. But the major difference between LVDT and RVDT is that an LVDT senses and transforms linear displacement into an electrical signal. While an RVDT senses angular displacement and transforms it into an electrical signal. Some more crucial differences exist between LVDT and …
Definition: A full wave rectifier is a rectification circuit that is used to change the overall ac signal that is applied across its terminals into a pulsating dc form. We know that rectification is nothing but the conversion of ac signal into dc. However, basically there exist two types of rectifiers, the first one is …
Definition: A Half-Wave Rectifier is a device that converts only one half of the applied ac signal into pulsating dc. The other half of the applied ac signal gets suppressed by the rectifier circuit. A half wave rectifier circuit uses only a single diode, due to the unidirectional current flow property of the diode. We …
One of the major differences between LED and photodiode is related to their operating principle. An LED is a device that works on the principle of electro-luminance. While the operation of a photodiode depends on the principle of photoconduction. Basically when an external potential is provided then a light emitting diode gives off light. Whereas …
Definition: 8086 is a 16-bit microprocessor and was created by Intel in 1978. Like the pin configuration of 8085 microprocessor, the 8086 microprocessor also contains 40 pins dual in line. However, unlike the 8085 microprocessor, an 8086 to have better performance, operates in 2 modes that are minimum and maximum mode. The minimum mode is a single …

Definition: 8086 is a 16-bit microprocessor and was designed in 1978 by Intel. Unlike, 8085, an 8086 microprocessor has 20-bit address bus. Thus, is able to access 220 i.e., 1 MB address in the memory. As we know that a microprocessor performs arithmetic and logic operations. And an 8086 microprocessor is able to perform these …
Definition: 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor as it operates on 8 bits. The size of the address bus in 8085 is 16 bits. Thus, can address 64 KB memory. An 8085 microprocessor is an IC with 40 pins and operates with +5V power supply. The pin configuration plays a very important role in understanding the architecture …

Definition: 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor as it operates on 8 bits at a time and is created with N-MOS technology. This microprocessor exhibits some unique characteristics and this is the reason it still holds popularity among the microprocessors. Basically, 8085 was the first commercially successful microprocessor by Intel. As some of the architectural drawbacks …
Definition: A microprocessor is an IC that executes arithmetic and logical functions that are defined by a program inside the system. Also, a computer system that is employed with a microprocessor is termed as a microcomputer. It is basically an LSI i.e., large scale integration chip. Each and everything in a processor is stored in …
