Topology (electronics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The topology of an electronic circuit is the basic configuration of the circuit without regard to specific component values or ratings. Schematic diagrams illustrating circuit topology often show only the major components.

[edit] Mathematical topology

Electronic circuit topology is related to mathematical topology in that the mathematics of topology forms a key portion of the basis for mathematical circuit analysis.^[1]

[edit] Circuit topology examples

Once a particularly useful topology has been developed, that topology and those similar to it often become known by a descriptive name or by the name of its designer. The following are some examples of well-known circuit topologies:

Voltage divider

Wheatstone bridge

Bridge rectifier

Low-pass RC Filter
