For example, you can insert a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a diode, or a transistor and get a readout of which pin is which.

This is precisely the frontier being explored through quantum thermal transistors, devices designed to replicate electronic transistor functionality at the quantum scale, but for heat.

Although these days transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is the most common, diode-transistor logic (DTL) once was a regular sight, as well as diode-resistor logic (DRL).

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

In essence, the four-layer diode was the first integrated circuit since it did the work of two transistors, two resistors, and a diode -- all in a single crystal.

Up to the present, stabilization has either been by minimizing these effects by suitable circuit design, or by the use of thermistors and non-linear elements in the base circuit.

Find the Engineer in Wonderland index of Cuk converter article here The values of C2 and R4 are guessed and not at all optimised. Also, a series diode-resistor pair across R4 would allow this extra ...

Here’s a blast from the past as we reprint our news from NYC’s 1961 IRE show—the first integrated logic circuits in TO-5 and TO-18 cans are being announced.
