types:

bridge, bridge circuit

a circuit consisting of two branches (4 arms arranged in a diamond configuration) across which a meter is connected

bridged-T

a circuit consisting of a T-network with an additional shunt bridging the two series circuits

closed circuit, loop

a complete electrical circuit around which current flows or a signal circulates

computer circuit

a circuit that is part of a computer

delay line

a circuit designed to introduce a calculated delay into the transmission of a signal

feedback circuit, feedback loop

a circuit that feeds back some of the output to the input of a system

flip-flop

an electronic circuit that can assume either of two stable states

clipper, limiter

(electronics) a nonlinear electronic circuit whose output is limited in amplitude; used to limit the instantaneous amplitude of a waveform (to clip off the peaks of a waveform)

data link, link

an interconnecting circuit between two or more locations for the purpose of transmitting and receiving data

open circuit

an incomplete electrical circuit in which no current flows

pulse timing circuit

a circuit that times pulses

resonant circuit, resonator

an electrical circuit that combines capacitance and inductance in such a way that a periodic electric oscillation will reach maximum amplitude

series circuit

a circuit having its parts connected serially

squelch, squelch circuit, squelcher

an electric circuit that cuts off a receiver when the signal becomes weaker than the noise

tank circuit

an oscillatory circuit

T-network

a circuit formed by two equal series circuits with a shunt between them

wiring

a circuit of wires for the distribution of electricity

acoustic delay line, sonic delay line

a delay line based on the time of propagation of sound waves

control circuit, negative feedback circuit

a feedback circuit that subtracts from the input

electromagnetic delay line

a delay line based on the time of propagation of electromagnetic waves

gate, logic gate

a computer circuit with several inputs but only one output that can be activated by particular combinations of inputs

integrated circuit, microcircuit

a microelectronic computer circuit incorporated into a chip or semiconductor; a whole system rather than a single component

interface, port

(computer science) computer circuit consisting of the hardware and associated circuitry that links one device with another (especially a computer and a hard disk drive or other peripherals)

light circuit, lighting circuit

wiring that provides power to electric lights

module

computer circuit consisting of an assembly of electronic components (as of computer hardware)

parallel circuit, shunt circuit

a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit

printed circuit

computer circuit consisting of an electronic sub-assembly; copper conductors are laminated on an insulating board or card and circuit components are inserted into holes and dip soldered

Wheatstone bridge

a bridge used to measure resistances
