1
electronic circuits in a device
all the electronic parts and connections inside a machine
Vzorec užití:
the circuitry in/inside [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *circuitry* as a countable plural (*a circuitry*, *two circuitries*). In most everyday use it is uncountable: *the circuitry is damaged*.
Synonyma
wiring (Focuses more on cables and connections than on electronic components.)
|
electronics (Broader term that can include devices and the field, not just the internal circuits.)
Kolokace
internal circuitry
|electronic circuitry
|complex circuitry
|delicate circuitry
|exposed circuitry
|damaged circuitry
|faulty circuitry
|repair the circuitry
|inspect the circuitry
|protect the circuitry
Témata

Příklady
- Water got into the phone and ruined the circuitry.
- The technician opened the casing to check the circuitry for burn marks.
- The toy has simple circuitry, so it’s easy to fix.
Učební příklady
- The circuitry is inside the computer.
- Be careful not to touch the circuitry.

2
circuits for a specific function
the part of a machine’s circuits that does one job
Vzorec užití:
[type] circuitry
Častá chyba:
Don’t confuse *circuitry* (a system of circuits) with a single *circuit* (one electrical loop).
Synonyma
circuit (Usually refers to one circuit rather than a whole functional set.)
|
electronics (More general; does not specifically indicate a circuit subsystem.)

3
neural connections in the brain
the brain’s connected pathways that control how it works
Vzorec užití:
the circuitry of [the brain/a region] | [type] circuitry
Častá chyba:
In this sense, *circuitry* is metaphorical but standard in science writing; it still behaves grammatically like an uncountable noun.
Synonyma
neural network (More general; can also refer to artificial intelligence models.)
|
pathways (Less specific; can refer to routes rather than an interconnected circuit-like system.)
Kolokace
brain circuitry
|neural circuitry
|reward circuitry
|stress circuitry

habit patterns likened to wiring
your usual way of thinking or reacting, as if your brain were wired that way
Vzorec užití:
[someone]'s circuitry | rewire [someone]'s circuitry
Častá chyba:
This figurative use is common in self-help and journalism, but it is still based on the idea of physical circuits; it may sound informal or metaphorical depending on context.
Synonyma
conditioning (Emphasizes learning through repeated experience rather than an internal 'wiring' metaphor.)
|
habit patterns (More literal and less metaphorical than *circuitry*.)
Kolokace

|rewire your circuitry
|emotional circuitry
|habit circuitry
|stress circuitry
|old circuitry
