Electronic engineering — is a discipline dealing with the behavior and effects of electrons (as in electron tubes and transistors) and with electronic devices, systems, or equipment.The term now also covers a large part of electrical engineering degree courses as studied … Wikipedia
Transistor–transistor logic — (TTL) is a class of digital circuits built from bipolar junction transistors (BJT), and resistors. It is called transistor–transistor logic because both the logic gating function (e.g., AND) and the amplifying function are performed by… … Wikipedia
Transistor models — Transistors are complicated devices. In order to ensure the reliable operation of circuits employing transistors, it is necessary to scientifically model the physical phenomena observed in their operation using transistor models. There exists a… … Wikipedia
Electronic design automation — (EDA) is the category of tools for designing and producing electronic systems ranging from printed circuit boards (PCBs) to integrated circuits. This is sometimes referred to as ECAD (electronic computer aided design) or just CAD. (Printed… … Wikipedia
Electronic circuit simulation — uses mathematical models to replicate the behavior of an actual electronic device or circuit. Simulation software allows for modeling of circuit operation and is an invaluable analysis tool. Due to its highly accurate modeling capability, many… … Wikipedia
Transistor — Trans*ist or, n. [transfer + resistor, from its ability to tranfer a current across a resistor.] (Electronics) a component used in electronic devices consisting of three regions of at least two types of a semiconducting material, such as doped… … The Collaborative International Dictionary of English
Electronic filter — Electronic filters are electronic circuits which perform signal processing functions, specifically intended to remove unwanted signal components and/or enhance wanted ones. Electronic filters can be:*passive or active *analog or digital *discrete … Wikipedia
Electronic test equipment — (sometimes called testgear ) is used to create signals and capture responses from electronic Devices Under Test (DUTs). In this way, the proper operation of the DUT can be proven or faults in the device can be traced and repaired. Use of… … Wikipedia
transistor — (n.) small electronic device, 1948, from TRANSFER (Cf. transfer) + RESISTOR (Cf. resistor), so called because it transfers an electrical current across a resistor. Said to have been coined by U.S. electrical engineer John Robinson Pierce (1910… … Etymology dictionary
transistor — UK US /trænˈzɪstər/ noun [C] ► a very small piece of electronic equipment that changes the force of the electrical current that goes through it. Transistors are commonly used in televisions, computers, and radios: »silicon transistors … Financial and business terms
