OC voltage generated from a bridge network or aiode networle contains voltage glitches.Faisal K @uteshi These glitches may cause serious problems to the operation of digital crrcurts. so a voltage regulator rs used to frlter these girtches « Voltage stablizes can be built using @ voltage regulator EC: like 1805-for t5V, 7809 for tI, 7405 for -5V, 7909 for -9v and so on.) Faisal K Qureshi Eveevoay Science : 1- LPG: 2- TNT: 3- RNA: 4- CNG: S- ATP: 6- RBC: 7 ~ EG: a- AIC: a- RAM: 10- CFC: ABBREVIATIONS: (1996 to 2010) Uigquefred Petroreum Gas TrinitroToluene RrboNuteic Acid Compressed Natural Ga Adenosine Tri Phosphote Red Blood (cell) Count Electro Cardio Gram , Electro (ardiograph , Echo Cardo Graph Poly Vinyl Chloride Random Auwess Memory Chlord Fluor0 Carbon u- SONAR: $Ound Nauigetion And Ranging W2- SARS : (3- NTP: U- RQ : IS- NPN: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Network Time Protocol Respiratory Quotient N-type P-type N-type (Negatrue Posittve Negative).
