Study Notes
- The term "electronics" originates from "electron mechanics", which is the study of electron behavior under different electric field conditions.
- Electronic devices control the flow of electrons and are the primary components of electronic circuits.
- The flow of electrons through a conductor generates electric current, which can be produced using batteries and generators.
- The field of electronics comprises various branches, including digital electronics, analog electronics, microelectronics, nano electronics, opto electronics, integrated circuits, and semiconductor devices.
- The first electronic component, the diode vacuum tube, was invented by John Ambrose Fleming.
- The triode, a three-element vacuum tube capable of voltage amplification, was developed by Lee de Forest.
- In 1947, Bell Laboratories developed the first transistor based on the research of William Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain.
- Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments developed the first integrated circuit in 1959.
- Electronic devices play a significant role in daily life, with examples including computers, mobile phones, ATMs, pendrives, televisions, and digital cameras.
