Today we continue our series on learning about the semiconductor industry. We are using the book, Understanding Semiconductors: A Technical Guide For Non-Technical People” by Corey Richard to guide our studies. We will go through the first part of chapter 2 today.
The goal of our series is to become very knowledgeable about the semiconductor industry by the end of 2023.
Disclaimer: The videos below do not belong to us. The creators are mentioned in each video.
Resistor: A device that limits the flow of electrical current.
Capacitor: A device that stores electrical energy.
Inductor: A wire coil that stores electric energy in a magnetic field.
Direct Current: Electric current that flows in one direction.
Alternating Current: Electric current that changes direction.
Diode: A device that allows electrical current to flow in only one direction.
Light Emitting Diode (LED): A device that produces light when an electric current is passed through it. LED lights last longer and are more efficient than normal light bulbs.
Integrated Components: Components that are made on the same chip.
Discrete Components: Components that are made separate from one another.
Logic gates: Based on a combination of one or more inputs, these devices determine whether an electrical current can pass through it. Logic gates use binary codes of 0 or 1. 0 means false and 1 means true.
Boolean Logic: A form of algebra where the answer is either true or false. In circuit design, true is 1 and false is 0.
CONCLUSION
Thanks for taking the time to read our post. We will finish chapter 2 in two -three weeks, God willing. Intel is releasing their financial results on July 27th, so I will write about their results next week.
As always, stay strong, stay blessed, and God willing, I will see you next week.
“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
