👉 In electronics, a "lidgate" is a type of gate that is typically used in conjunction with a switch or other electronic device to control the flow of current. It is often designed to allow only one way of controlling the flow of current through a circuit, but it can also be used to control the direction of current flow in different ways depending on the application. For example, a lidgate might be used in an oscilloscope to control the frequency output, or in a switchboard to
