Key Concepts

-- Troubleshooting
The process of identifying, isolating, and resolving issues in electronic circuits to ensure proper functionality.
-- OpAmp
An operational amplifier is a high-gain voltage amplifier with differential inputs, used widely in signal processing.
-- PID Controller
A control loop feedback mechanism widely used in industrial control systems, which uses proportional, integral, and derivative terms to adjust control outputs.
-- Offset Voltage
The voltage difference that appears at the output of an amplifier when zero volts is applied to the input; this is usually an unwanted offset.
-- Voltage Regulator
An electronic device that maintains a constant voltage level, providing stable output despite variations in input voltage or load conditions.
