Across
  1. 3. an electronic component that uses the on and off functions of a transistor to perform Boolean logic in which the “on” represents “true” and is written mathematically as a “1,” and “off” or “false” is represented by a “0”
  2. 6. a device that helps translate a measured electrical dimension such as amplitude, frequency, or phase shift into points or plots like a graph by plotting them on a screen
  3. 8. an electric motor that operates on the principles of which a primary rotating magnetic field created by AC induces a secondary magnetic field in which both magnetic fields interact with each other causing the motor’s rotor to spin
  4. 9. a component that keeps track of time to generate a frequency or to know when to start or stop an action
  5. 14. the identification of an integrated circuit’s pins and their functions commonly found in the manufacturer’s specification sheet
  6. 15. an integrated circuit where the microprocessor architecture along with read only memory (ROM) and random access memory (RAM) are all placed into one integrated circuit that may be reprogrammed, sometimes called a programmable integrated circuit (PIC)
  7. 16. a structured layout, also called a flow diagram, where different shapes represent different functions throughout a system process with lines or arrows interconnecting those shapes indicating the path of flow for the process
  8. 17. the net charge of an isolated system always remains constant
  9. 18. the percentage of time that a signal is on as compared to off within the signal’s period
  10. 20. the design technology for the semiconductor industry currently in use that allows for combining billions of transistors onto a single chip
Down
  1. 1. for parallel paths of a circuit, the total current entering its junction is equal to the total currents leaving that same junction
  2. 2. the process in which both the switching and amplification aspects of a transistor are used to rapidly switch a transistor on and off while varying time on/time off percentages called a duty cycle
  3. 4. an electronic device that converts alternating current into direct current
  4. 5. a semiconductor manufacturing process that lays the patterns on the surface of silicon a layer at a time in which a layer of a photoresistive chemical is applied in the pattern needed using light
  5. 7. circuit (IC) combinations of transistors along with resistors, capacitors, and sometimes inductors manufactured together to serve a specific task
  6. 10. an electronic component made of semiconductor material and is typically used to allow current to only flow in one direction
  7. 11. in any closed loop path, the total voltage around the loop is equal to the sum of all the voltage drops within that same loop
  8. 12. an electronic component that can act as a switch where something is turned on and off or used as an amplifier of a signal where the amplitude of the input signal is proportionally magnified
  9. 13. a layout showing how interconnected electrical or electronic components make up an electrical or electronic system
  10. 19. rotational force
