- 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”
- 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
- 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
- 9. a component that keeps track of time to generate a frequency or to know when to start or stop an action
- 14. the identification of an integrated circuit’s pins and their functions commonly found in the manufacturer’s specification sheet
- 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)
- 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
- 17. the net charge of an isolated system always remains constant
- 18. the percentage of time that a signal is on as compared to off within the signal’s period
- 20. the design technology for the semiconductor industry currently in use that allows for combining billions of transistors onto a single chip
Down
- 1. for parallel paths of a circuit, the total current entering its junction is equal to the total currents leaving that same junction
- 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
- 4. an electronic device that converts alternating current into direct current
- 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
- 7. circuit (IC) combinations of transistors along with resistors, capacitors, and sometimes inductors manufactured together to serve a specific task
- 10. an electronic component made of semiconductor material and is typically used to allow current to only flow in one direction
- 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
- 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
- 13. a layout showing how interconnected electrical or electronic components make up an electrical or electronic system
- 19. rotational force
