Electronic Circuit

     Is composed of different components
     that are classified as

     Passive and Active Components.
Are components that do not generate voltage but
controls the current in a circuit.

e.g.


        Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors etc.
Active Components


    Are components that can be generate
    amplify and even controls the current in a
    circuit

    e.g.

    Diode, Transistor, Integrated Circuits (IC)
A. Resistor Family

Resistor
  - An electrical component that is used to
  oppose the flow of current
(5 types of Resistor)
1. Fixed resistor
             - To limit the current.
2. Tapped resistor (fixed)

  -A wire-wound fixed resistor having one or more
  additional terminals along its length.
3. Variable resistor (potentiometer)

   -is used in circuits to vary the magnitude of
  resistance passing through the resistor.
4. Trimmer resistor (variable)
-is a miniature variable resistor (rheostat) used mainly in
place of a fixed resistor permit convenient adjustment of
resistance in a circuit.
5. Light dependent resistor (LDR)
- A resistor is not depended on light to function a
simplied. however there are devices that do change
resistance as exposed to external photons source.
B. Capacitor Family


Capacitor


– An Electrical device consist of two plates
separated by an insulators called “Dielectric”
and has the capability to charge and discharge
voltage.
( 6 types of Capacitor)
1. Fixed Capacitor
- is constructed in such manner that it possesses a
fixed value of capacitance which cannot be adjusted.
2. Polarized Capacitor
 (Electrolytic or Tantalum)
-have large leakage current if the voltage is inverted.
- This are most like a battery.
3. Non-polarized Capacitor
(AC Capacitor)
  - are needed at AC applications in series or in
  parallel with the signal (or power).
4. Varactor or Capacitive diode
 - are commonly found in communication equipment
 where electronic tuning is a necessity. They are an
 important component of radio frequency or RF
 applications.
5. Trimmer Capacitor (variable)
  - having variable capacitance; used for making fine
  adjustments.
6. Tuning Capacitor (variable)
- in a radio is involved in determining the frequency of an
oscillator somewhere in the radio. As that capacitance is
varied, the frequency of the oscillator changes.
C. Coil Family
 Coil
         -is an inductor.
        - Are used in electronic circuits to introduce
        inductance.
Inductor
    -an electrical device formed by an insulated
    wire, wound in a coil around a core having the
    capability to store energy in its electromagnetic
    field.

    - Inductors are frequently found in tuning and
    filter circuits.
D. Semi-Conductor Family



Diode

   - an Electronic device that permits current
   to pass or to flow in only one direction.
Transistor
   -a semi conductor device use for amplification
   and switching application in electronic circuits.


Thyristor
   – a class of four layer semi-conductor device
   used to control AC voltage application
14 Types of semi- conductor Family
1. Crystal Diode
-Is a wafer of nature quarts on ohm piece electric
material having a definite thickness that makes it
vibrate at a predetermined frequency when
connected in a circuits.
2. Rectifier diode
   - A device which performs the opposite function
     (converting DC to AC) is known as an inverter.
3. Zener diode
 - is a special kind of diode which allows current to flow in the
forward direction in the same manner as an ideal diode, but will also
permit it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a
certain value known as the breakdown voltage, "zener knee voltage"
or "zener voltage".
4. FET diode
is a specific type of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect
transistor ,designed to handle significant power levels.
Compared to the other power semiconductor devices, its main
advantages are high commutation speed and good efficiency
at low voltages. It shares with the IGBT an isolated gate that
makes it easy to drive.
5. Tunnel diode or (ezaki diode)
 Esaki diode is a type of semiconductor diode which is
 capable of very fast operation, well into the microwave
 frequency region, by using the quantum mechanical effect
 called tunneling.
6. Diac
 -diode for alternating current', is a diode that
 conducts current only after its breakover
 voltage has been reached momentarily.
7. Photo diode
- is a type of photo detector capable of converting
light into either current or voltage, depending upon
the mode of operation. The common, traditional
solar cell used to generate electric solar power is a
large area photodiode.
8. Light emitting diode (LED)

  - is a semi conductor light source. LEDs are used
  as indicator lamps in many devices and are
  increasingly used for other lighting.
9. Silicon Sensitive diode (SCR)
- is a four-layer solid state current. The name "silicon
controlled rectifier" or SCR is General Electric's trade
name for a type of thyristor. This device is generally
used in switching applications.
10. Triac
- triode for alternating current), an electronics
component
11. Quadrac
   - are a special type of thyristor which combines a
   "diac" and a "triac" in a single package. The diac
   is the triggering device for the triac.
12. Photo transistor
