Subroutine
A set of software instructions executed
by a single line of code that may have
input and/or output parameters.
Successive-Approximation ADC
An ADC that sequentially
compares a series of binary-weighted
values with an analog input to produce
an output digital word in n steps,
where n is the bit resolution of the
ADC.
Synchronous
A property of a function that begins an
operation and returns only when the
operation is complete.
System Noise
A measure of the amount of noise
seen by an analog circuit or an ADC
when the analog inputs are grounded.
T
TCP/IP
A set of standard protocols for
communicating across a single network
or interconnected set of networks. The
Internet Protocol (IP) for the low-level
service of taking data and packaging of
components, and Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) for high-reliability data
transmissions.
THD
Total Harmonic Distortion: The ratio of
the total rms signal due to harmonic
distortion to the overall rms signal, in
dB or percent.
THD+N
Signal-to-THD Plus Noise: The ratio in
decibels of the overall rms signal to the
rms signal of harmonic distortion plus
noise introduced.
Thermistor
A semiconductor sensor that exhibits a
repeatable change in electrical
resistance as a function of
temperature. Most thermistors exhibit a
negative temperature coefficient.
