E6E11<br />
The operating bias voltage normally supplied to the most common type of monolithic microwave integrated circuit<br />
(MMIC) is through a resistor and/or RF choke connected to the amplifier output lead.<br />
E6E12<br />
Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) amplifiers typically require a supply voltage of 12 volts DC.<br />
E6E13<br />
Plastic packages are the most common package for inexpensive monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC)<br />
amplifiers.<br />
E6F Optical components and power systems: photoconductive principles and effects, photovoltaic<br />
systems, optical couplers, optical sensors, and optoisolators<br />
E6F01<br />
Photoconductivity is the increased conductivity of an illuminated semiconductor.<br />
E6F02<br />
The conductivity of a photoconductive material increases when light shines on it.<br />
In other words the resistance decreases<br />
E6F03<br />
The most common configuration for an optocoupler is an LED and a phototransistor.<br />
E6F04<br />
An LED and a phototransistor in the same package is an optoisolator.<br />
Optocoupler and Optoisolator are terms that are used interchangeably for the same device.<br />
E6F05<br />
What is an optical shaft encoder is an array of optocouplers whose light transmission path is controlled (interrupted)<br />
by a rotating wheel.<br />
E6F06<br />
Photoconductivity will change the resistance of a crystalline solid.<br />
