The
Transistor - Function
The transistor is
one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century. It has made it possible to send mankind to the moon,
build small yet powerful computers, construct small and
efficient hearing aids. These inventions are just a few
examples of everyday items containing transistors, the list
of such objects can be made very long. The transistor radio
was one of the first transistorized items that became a big
commercial success. Today, one of the most common uses of the
transistor is as a part of the integrated circuit (IC) that
is vital for a computer's function. Some even call it "the
nerve cell of the information technology" and although the
transistor is of great importance, few people know what it is
and how it functions. |
