voltage drop |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Acronyms, Wikipedia | 0.10 sec. |
voltage dropThe decline in voltage in an electrical circuit due to the resistance in the conducting line. This is why longer electrical runs in a building require thicker gauge wire and why AC power is transmitted over high-voltage lines. Higher current requires thicker and more expensive wires, but higher voltage does not. The high-voltage lines are reduced by transformers near the end of the line. See voltage and ohm. voltage drop [′vōl·tij ‚dräp] (electricity) The voltage developed across a component or conductor by the flow of current through the resistance or impedance of that component or conductor.

| An SDF output with voltage drop and crosstalk induced delays can be generated from CoolTime for signoff timing analysis. The moment the unit senses a power loss or voltage drop it can't compensate for, it discounnects the computer from the wall-socket curretn and its batteries kick in with substitute power. Performance improvements include a 40 percent reduction in memory footprint and runtime for dynamic voltage drop analysis, and a 10X improvement in disk usage for dynamic voltage drop optimization. |
