Jännitettakohtainen

Jännitettakohtainen is a Finnish term that translates to "voltage-dependent" or "voltage-controlled" in English. It describes a phenomenon, device, or parameter that changes its behavior or value based on the applied voltage. This concept is fundamental in many areas of electronics and physics.

In electronics, jännitettakohtainen components are those whose electrical properties vary with voltage. A prime example is a varactor diode, which exhibits a capacitance that is a function of the reverse bias voltage. Similarly, the resistance of some materials, like certain semiconductors in a field-effect transistor, can be controlled by an applied voltage. Transistors themselves are often described as voltage-controlled devices, as their output current is regulated by an input voltage.

Beyond discrete components, jännitettakohtainen behavior is observed in larger systems. For instance, the gain of an amplifier might be jännitettakohtainen, meaning it changes as the input or supply voltage fluctuates. In signal processing, techniques like voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) and voltage-controlled amplifiers (VCAs) are ubiquitous, allowing for dynamic manipulation of signals based on voltage inputs. The stability and operation of complex circuits often rely on understanding and managing these voltage-dependent characteristics. The term emphasizes the direct relationship between electrical potential and the resultant effect.
