Chapter 14 - Electronic Control
Devices and Circuits
Chapter Overview
Control of loads is an
important application area. For example, a control circuit
may be used to accurately set and maintain the speed
of a motor. Lights and heating elements can also be
regulated with control circuits. The adjustable resistor,
or rheostat, can be used to control loads.
This chapter describes solid-state
control devices and circuits that work much more efficiently
than rheostats. It also shows how feedback can be used
in control circuits.
