Computers
This type of memory retains its contents even when power is turned off
Non-volatile memory
What the acronym "ASIC" stands for
Application Specific Integrated Circuit
The law that states the electric current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points is named after him
Georg Simon Ohm
This frequency is the highest that can reasonably be measured at a given sample rate
Nyquist frequency
This bench device is commonly used for displaying voltage of a circuit signal over time
Oscilloscope
The programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in the early 1970s
C
This circuit element stores electrical energy in a magnetic field
Inductor
He was the first person to describe boolean gates and founded the field of artificial intelligence
Claude Shannon
This type of plot is commonly used for graphing the frequency response of a system in magnitude and phase
Bode plot
This sensor generally has between 6 and 9 degrees of freedom and measures a body's force, angular rate, and/or orientation
IMU
This computer architecture has a simple instruction set often with fixed-length instructions, excels in embedded systems, and its four letter acronym starts with 'R'
RISC
This logic gate has an output of 1 only if both inputs are 0
NOR
He invented a high-voltage (80,000 - 7,000,000V) generator and received his B.S. and M.S. from UA
Robert J. Van de Graaff
This transform is an integral transformation of a function, f(t), from the time domain into the complex frequency domain, F(s)
Laplace Transform
This device converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
Electric motor
This deep learning architecture is based on the multi-head attention mechanism and was proposed in 2017
Transformer
If the roots of the characteristic equation of a second-order circuit are both negative and real during transient analysis, this is the kind of system response it will have
Overdamped response
He invented the bipolar junction transistor
William Shockley
This function states that any non-sinusoidal periodic function can be expressed as an infinite sum of sinusoidal functions
Fourier series
This embedded device contains logic cells and interconnects that can be reprogrammed to perform a specific function and is a four letter acronym
FPGA
This is what VHDL stands for
VHSIC (very high-speed integrated circuit) Hardware Description Language
In semiconductor device fabrication, integrated circuit chips are created on this slice of substrate, commonly made of silicon
Wafer
She wrote the influential textbook in the field of power engineering in 1941, Circuit Analysis of A-C Power Systems
Edith Clarke
This converts a discrete time signal into a complex valued frequency domain representation
Z-transform
This is the most common PCB material
FR-4
