Encompasses types of circuits such as analog, digital and linear circuits

Subcategories

• Analog circuits - electric communication links using an continuous signal which represents some other quantity
• Bipolar transistor circuits - a three-terminal electric device (using both electrons and holes), often used in amplification or switching
• Bistable circuits - circuits which are stable in either of two distinct states
• Counting circuits - circuits that can count and store information on the number of times a certain event has occurred
• Coupling circuits - circuits connect two circuits in an electrical network
• Digital circuits - circuits that represent signals using discrete bands in an analog levels, instead of continuous range
• Distributed parameter circuits - circuits where a certain parameter or command is spread through an entire system, as opposed to located in one place like a wire coil
• Driver circuits - an eletrical circuit used to control another circuit, such as a transistor
• Equivalent circuits - a theoretical circuit that retains all the electrical characteristics of a given circuit
• Linear circuits - an electronic circuit where an input frequency matches the output frequency
• MOSFET circuits - a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor circuit, a circuit which uses such a transistor for amplifying or switching electronic signals
• Magnetic circuits - a circuit made up of one or more closed loop paths containing a magnetic flux
• Multiplying circuits - a circuit which multiplies numbered inputs into a system
• Nonlinear circuits - a circuit in which a certain frequency input is not necessarily matched by the same frequency output
• Passive circuits - circuits that consume but do not produce or increase energy
• Printed circuits - conductive pathways which have been etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate
• Programmable circuits - circuits whose function is initially undefined and can be reconfigured
• Pulse circuits - circuits that are used for high-powered signals with rapid pulses of energy
• Radiation detector circuits - circuits which can detect the presence or absence of radiation
• Sampled data circuits - a circuit where analog signals are captured (sampled) at discrete moments
• Sequential circuits - a circuit in which the output does not only depend on present input but on the history of the input
• Solid-state circuits - circuits built entirely from solid materials, in which the electrons are confined entirely within the solid material
• Summing circuits - a circuit which adds several inputs together
• Switched circuits - circuits that have established a dedicated communications channel between two nodes
• Switching circuits - circuits that establish a dedicated communications channel between two nodes
• Thyristor circuits - circuits with four layers of alternating P and N type material, which function as bistable switches
• Time varying circuits - a circuit in which characteristics of the output depend on the time
• Track circuits - an electrical device used to detect the presence or absence of a train on the train tracks
• Trigger circuits - a circuit in which the output changes abruptly at a predetermined trigger point of input power
