INTRODUCTION
Electronics is the science of how to control electric energy, energy in which the
electrons have a fundamental role.

electronic devices

Passive elements

All of electronics can be divided into two broad categories: analog and digital.
TYPES OF CIRCUITS
Analog refers to circuits in which quantities such as voltage or
current vary at a continuous rate. Changes continually.
Analog Electronics

In digital electronics, quantities are counted rather than

measured. Theres an important distinction between counting
and measuring. When you count something, you get an exact

result. When you measure something, you get an approximate
result.
ANALOG VS DIGITAL

On the analog clock, the time is

represented by hands that spin around a On a digital clock, a numeric display
dial and point to a location on the dial indicates the exact time
that represents the approximate time.

LED
A light emitting diode is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an
electric current passes through it.
Basically, LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit.
DIODE
A diode is a specialized electronic component with two electrodes called the anode
and the cathode. Most diodes are made with semiconductor materials such as silicon,
germanium, or selenium.
The fundamental property of a diode is its tendency to conduct electric current in only
one direction.
TRANSITOR
Is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical
power. It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals for
connection to an external circuit.
It can be used as a switch or as an amplifier.
SCR
A silicon controlled rectifier is a four-layer solid state current controlling device. The
name "silicon controlled rectifier" is General Electric's trade name for a type of
thyristor.

SCRs are unidirectional devices (i.e. can conduct current only in one direction)

Are mainly used in devices where the control of high power, possibly coupled with
high voltage, is demanded. Their operation makes them suitable for use in medium to
high-voltage AC power control applications, such as lamp dimming, regulators and
motor control.
TRIAC
The triode for alternating current is a genericized tradename for an electronic
component that can conduct current in either direction when it is triggered
(turned on), and is formally called a bidirectional triode thyristor or bilateral
triode thyristor.

They are a subset of thyristors and are closely related to silicon-controlled

rectifiers (SCR). However, unlike SCRs, which are unidirectional devices (that is,
they can conduct current only in one direction), TRIACs are bidirectional and so
allow current in either direction.
