2. Diode
• A semiconductor device with two
terminals, typically allowing the flow of
current in one direction only.
• Blocks the current that flows in the
opposite direction
3.
4. Zener Diode
• flow in the forward
direction as normal
• but will also allow it
to flow in the reverse
direction
6. IR LED
• An IR LED, also
known as IR
transmitter, is a
special
purpose LED that
transmits infrared
rays in the range of
760 nm wavelength.
• Used in Remotes
control.
7. Photodiode
• A photodiode is a
transducer that takes
light energy and
converts it into
electrical energy.
8. Transistor
i. Switch
ii. Supply small amount
of electricity to control
gates on much large
supply of electricity.
iii.Composed of 3 parts
• Base
• Collector
• Emitter
Anode and cathode are the terminals
The characteristics of a diode closely match to a switch. An ideal switch when open does not conduct current in either directions and in closed state conducts in both directions.
It allow current to flow in the forward direction as normal, but will also allow it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value - the breakdown voltage known as the Zener voltage. The Zener diode specially made to have a reverse voltage breakdown at a specific voltage.
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it.
IR stands for Infrared
the human eye cannot see the infrared radiations, it is not possible for a person to identify whether the IR LED is working or not
If photodiode placed in a dark room it creates no electricity. However, if light falls upon it, and produces electric current in response.
Transducer
a device that converts variations in a physical quantity, such as brightness, into an electrical signal.
The design of a transistor allows it to function as a switch. This is using a small amount of electricity to control a gate on a much larger supply of electricity. Transistors are composed of three parts – a base, a collector, and an emitter. The base is the gate controller device for the larger electrical supply. The collector is the larger electrical supply, and the emitter is the outlet for that supply. By sending varying levels of current from the base, the amount of current flowing through the gate from the collector may be regulated. In this way, a very small amount of current may be used to control a large amount of current, as in an amplifier. The same process is used to create the binary code for the digital processors but in this case a voltage five volts is needed to open the collector gate. In this way, the transistor is being used as a switch with a binary function: five volts – ON, less than five volts – OFF.
