Basic Electronics Part 2 – Active ComponentsIntegrated circuits are microcircuits that perform special functions. Contained within the IC are very small electronic components which are basically resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors. The combination of these components determines the functionality of the IC. The process of transforming electronic components into very small components so

June 13, 2006 3-D Transistors in The WorksBy David Needle Intel's researchers are closer to development of processors that use "tri-gate" or three-dimensional transistors, the microscopic, silicon-based switches that process the ones and zeros of the digital world. The 3D angle is tied to the latest semiconductor research into nanotechnology. At the nanotech level some transistor features

Basic Electronics Part 2 – Active ComponentsTransistors are the most commonly used electronic component. This is because the transistor is very flexible and can perform different functions. It can serve as a switch, an amplifier, or an inverter. Also, combining two or more transistors can produce different effects as with the logic Integrated Circuits (IC). Transistors can be classified into two;

Basic Electronics Part 2 – Active ComponentsA diode is an electronic device having two electrodes; one of which is positive (called the anode) and the other is negative (called the cathode). The node at which these two electrodes meet is called the P-N Junction. Because of having only a single P-N junction, the diode serves as a one-way conductor that allows current to flow only in one

Basic Electronics Active electronic components are devices that are capable of controlling voltage or current. The diode, transistor and the Integrated Circuit (IC) are examples of this. The diode is an active device because current flow and conduction through it depends on the polarity of the input voltage across it. The transistor is an active device because it can amplify the signal and invert

Basic Electronics Part 1 – Passive ComponentsAn inductor is simply a coil of wire. The basic function is to concentrate the magnetic field of electric current in the coil. More importantly, an induced voltage is generated when the current with its associated magnetic field changes in value or direction. Putting an inductor in a circuit greatly compensates for the sudden change in current that may

Basic Electronics Part 1 – Passive Components Determining Capacitor Values The value of the capacitance in a capacitor can be determined by reading the prints in the capacitor. Often, high-capacitance capacitors, like electrolytic caps, have their values written explicitly in their casing; for example, 22 μF (Twenty two microfarads). However, smaller-valued capacitors have codes printed

Basic Electronics Part 1 – Passive Components A capacitor is a passive electronic component which can store electrical charges. It consists of two (2) conducting plates and separated by an insulating material. This insulating material is also called the dielectric material. The capacitor’s basic function is to concentrate the electric field of voltage applied across the dielectric so that it

Basic Electronics Part 1 – Passive Components Resistance is an opposition to current. The amount of resistance determines how much current can flow through a material. The greater the resistance, the less current can flow. Air, for example, has an almost infinite resistance making it very difficult to conduct electricity through it. Metals, on the other hand, have very low resistance values

Basic Electronics Passive devices are electronic components that do not have the capability to generate voltage or control current but serves as mediums through which current could flow or voltage may be stored. Resistors, Capacitors, and Inductors are all passive components having their own unique characteristics. Resistors reduce the amount of current. Resistors provide a
