+===== Schottky Diode =====
+Named after the German physicist Walter H. Schottky, a Schottky diode is a solid state diode formed by the junction of a semiconductor with a metal. It is used when a low forward voltage drop or high switching speed is required. A conventional solid state silicon diode has a typical forward voltage of 600–700 mV, while a Schottky's forward voltage is 150–450 mV. This lower forward voltage allows higher switching speeds and lower power dissipation.

 Start of Day is a term used to denote a process by which the initial state of a system is established.\\
-In [[glossary_c#cbus|CBUS]] this is achieved usually by an input module generating an event which other input modules have been taught to recognize as a SoD. In response these other modules generate a set of events representing the current state of their inputs.\\

+===== SPI =====
+A Serial Peripheral Interface provides a way to connect one or more slave devices to a master device. A little more information of it's use in MERG is at: [[arduino:spi|Arduino Use of SPI and USI]]
