  1. Transistors and ICs

  2. The SCR • SCR = SILICON CONTROLLED RECTIFIER • In the family of semiconductors that includes transistors and diodes. • Controls current in one direction • Not all SCRs use the casing shown, but this is typical of most of the high-power units. From http://www.tpub.com/neets/book7/26c.htm The electrical engineering training series

  3. How a SCR Works • Note: the cathode side is towards the negative side of the battery • A SCR is very sensitive to too much electrical energy, we use a 1000 ohm resistor to protect the SCR from burning out. • Which part of the SCR needs very little current? • The gate • Which side is the beveled edge? • The gate 220 Ohms anode 1K Ohms + 9 volts cathode gate - Beveled Edge front Gate Anode

  4. The Transistor Similar to a basic light switch, transistors have two operating positions, on and off. • The transistor is a solid state semiconductor device • can be used for amplification, switching, voltage stabilization, signal modulation and many other functions. • It acts as a variable valve which, based on its input voltage, controls the current drawn by it from a connected voltage supply.

  5. The IC The 555 timer is an extremely versatile integrated circuit which can be used to build lots of different circuits.

  6. The IC • Integrated circuits are used for a variety of devices, including : • microprocessors, • audio and video equipment, • automobiles and more

  7. The IC Integrated circuits are often classified by the number of transistors and other electronic components they contain: SSI (small-scale integration): Up to 100 electronic components per chip MSI (medium-scale integration): From 100 to 3,000 electronic components per chip LSI(large-scale integration): From 3,000 to 100,000 electronic components per chip VLSI(very large-scale integration): From 100,000 to 1,000,000 electronic components per chip ULSI(ultra large-scale integration): More than 1 million electronic components per chip
