The T pad is a specific type of attenuator electronics attenuator circuit in electronics whereby the topology electronics topology of the circuit is formed in the shape of the letter T . Attenuators are used in electronics to reduce the level of a signal. They are also referred to as pads due to their effect of padding down a signal by analogy with acoustics. Attenuators have a flat frequency response attenuating all frequencies equally in the band they are intended to operate. The attenuator has the opposite task of an amplifier . The topology of an attenuator circuit will usually follow one of the Topology electronics Simple filter topologies simple filter sections . However, there is no need for more complex circuitry, as there is with Electronic filter filters , due to the simplicity of the frequency response required. Circuits are required to be balanced circuit balanced or unbalanced depending on the geometry of the transmission line s they are to be used with. For radio frequency applications, the format is often unbalanced, such as coaxial cable coaxial . For audio and telecommunications, balanced circuits are usually required, such as with the twisted pair format. The T pad is intrinsically an unbalanced circuit. However, it can be converted to a balanced circuit by placing half the series resistances in the return path.

In its simplest form a thermal pad consists of a foam like material that is about half a centimetre thick about a quarter of an inch . The dimensions of the pad are usually about the same length as a sleeping bag and a little wider. Slight variations in design can be found, such as rippling in the foam, but these do not significantly affect the pad s thermal properties. A common misconception is that thermal pads are for creating a more comfortable sleeping or picnic spot. This is what gives rise to their other name ground pads . In fact, the purpose of the thermal pad is to prevent the loss of body heat into the ground while sleeping. The foam pad, which is filled with air bubbles, slows down the heat conduction conduction of heat through the pad since air is one of the best and cheapest thermal insulation insulator s.

A PIN pad is an electronic device used in a debit card debit or smart card based transaction to input and encrypt the cardholder s personal identification number PIN . PIN pads are normally used with integrated point of sale devices in which an electronic cash register is responsible for taking the sale amount and initiating handling the transaction. The PIN pad is required so that the customer card can be accessed in the case of chip card s and the PIN can be securely entered and encrypted before it is sent upstream to the transaction manager of the switch or the bank. In some cases, with chip cards, the PIN is only transferred from the PIN pad to the chip within the PIN pad itself and it is verified by the chip card. In this case the PIN does not need to be sent to the bank or card scheme for verification. This is known as offline PIN verification . Like some stand alone point of sale devices, PIN pads are equipped with hardware and software security features to ensure that the injected security keys and the PIN are erased if someone tries to tamper with the device. The PIN is encrypted immediately on entry and an encrypted PIN block is created. This encrypted PIN block is erased as soon as it has been sent from the PIN pad to the attached point of sale device and or the chip card. PINs are encrypted using a variety of encryption schemes, the most common being triple DES . PIN pads must be approved to the standards required by the payment card industry to ensure that they provide adequate security at the point of PIN entry and for the PIN encryption process. ISO 9564 is the international standard for PIN management and security. Some well known PIN pad vendors include Hypercom now including Thales e Transactions division , Ingenico now including Sagem , and VeriFone .
