CIRCUITO FISICO [3 records]

Record 1 2022-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
  • Electronic Circuits Technology
CONT

A printed circuit board needs structure and shape. It also needs a platform or canvas to hold all of its other components. This is the job of the substrate. The characteristics of the substrate will affect how the PCB [printed circuit board] performs. For example, a rigid substrate may add strength and durability to the PCB. A flexible substrate allows for more design options.

OBS

substrate: designation officially approved by the Electronics and Telecommunications Terminology Committee (CUTEL).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits imprimés et micro-électronique
  • Technologie des circuits électroniques
DEF

Matériau destiné à recevoir l'impression d'un circuit ou les divers composants de ce circuit.

OBS

substrat : désignation uniformisée par le Comité d'uniformisation des termes de l'électronique et des télécommunications (CUTEL).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Circuitos impresos y microelectrónica
  • Tecnología de los circuitos electrónicos
DEF

En microelectrónica, [...] material físico sobre el que se fabrica o se conecta un circuito.

Record 2 2003-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Management Operations (General)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Representation of a physical system (prototype) by an analogous physical system, such that the behaviour of the analogue approximately (or exactly) simulates that of the prototype.

CONT

Analogue models in hydrology most frequently simulate the flow of water in a channel (or through a porous medium) by the flow of electric current through a circuit composed of resistors and capacitors.

OBS

... simulate a situation in a different medium from the prototype. Electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic analogues are employed. Often used in training, but not suitable for decision-making owing to the slow response, high cost of construction, and difficulty of changing the model fundamentally.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Opérations de la gestion (Généralités)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Représentation d'un système physique réel par un autre système physique analogue, telle que le comportement de l'analogue soit à peu près (ou exactement) le même que celui du système physique réel.

CONT

En hydrologie, les modèles analogiques simulent fréquemment l'écoulement de l'eau dans des canaux (ou à travers un milieu poreux) par le passage d'un courant électrique dans un circuit composé de résistances et de capacités.

CONT

Un modèle analogique reprend la structure et la fonction d'un modèle déjà connu et testé d'un autre processus ou système.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Operaciones de la gestión (Generalidades)
  • Inteligencia artificial
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Representación de un sistema físico(prototipo), por un sistema físico análogo, de modo que su comportamiento simule de forma aproximada(o exacta) el del prototipo. Los modelos analógicos utilizados más frecuentemente en hidrología simulan el flujo de agua en un cauce(o a través de un medio poroso), mediante el flujo de una corriente eléctrica en un circuito compuesto por resistencias y condensadores.
