edge detection a technique that locates an edge of an analog signal, such as the edge of
a square wave

ENOB effective number of bits—a measure of the actual performance of an
A/D converter after its various noise sources and nonlinearities are
included. The ENOB is computed as the signal-to-noise ratio of the
A/D converter (in dB) minus 1.76, divided by 6.02. Also called
effective bits.
ESD electrostatic discharge—a high-voltage, low-current discharge of static
electricity that can damage sensitive electronic components.
Electrostatic discharge voltage can easily range from 1,000 to 10,000 V.
