Author Novice: Explain to me all there is to know about an integrator with a variable gain etc

Hello,

Can you tell me everything there is to know about these? I think I've
seen these in conversations on control theory. Is it that 1/S stuff
etc.

What about MIN/MAX limiters, and one frame delays?

Is a MIN/MAX limiter like a minimum function in a computer language?
Where a value under consideration would pass through the gate if it's
between the min and max inclusive? Otherwise, a default value is
output.

Are one frame delays a register that holds the value until the time of
the delay is over? What is a frame?

Thank you,
Christopher Lusardi

You can get all this in a university course in control systems electronics.

O'kay straighten me out of my understanding of an integrator with a
variable gain. I went to my extensive library collection of 600 books
and this is what I think I saw. I saw 2 definitions of what I assume to
be the same thing. They used examples. :-)

(1) If you take the Fourier (or maybe Laplace) Transform of equation
described via Circuits 101 steps and you have a term 1/S then that's an
integrator?

(2) It's an actual mathematical integration operation being performed
to determine the output voltage of a circuit?

Help with intuitive specifics of this,
Chris Lusardi
