Definition: Clackety is a term used in the field of electrical engineering to describe a type of circuit that has multiple outputs, each with their own independent input. In this context, "clackety" refers to the way in which an AC or DC motor's output can change depending on its inputs, like how it clanks when it starts moving or whirs when it turns. This term is often used in circuits where a single output needs to be controlled by multiple inputs, but the outputs
