Do not push the drawing pins into the board with your thumb or finger. Use a small pin hammer to drive them in. Notes on building the circuits Solder or clamp? The circuits are designed to be constructed on the base board. The choice is yours whether the components are held in clamps or soldered into position permanently. SOLDER: The parts can be soldered to drawing pins which are tapped in to the base. The heads should be lightly tinned before mounting any of the parts, so that a minimum of heat is necessary during further work. CLAMP: To clamp the parts into position, the springs can easily be mounted onto the base with the drawing pins. Then the springs only have to be bent back (see diagram). Base USING THE SPRINGS AS SWITCHES AND CONTACTS For a short contact bend For a long contact hook the springs together the springs together. Contact Switch 2 E110626#1 The LIght Emitting Diode The Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D.) is not a lamp or bulb. The light from a L.E.D. is from a small crystal electro- magnetic wave, which we can see. If you hold a L.E.D. up to a light source, you can see the crystal inside. Crystal The light from a L.E.D. is not as bright as that from a bulb. LEDs are used mainly as warning and control lights to display a particular function, e.g.in Hi-Fi units, cassette players, computers, digital watches and televisions etc. Nearly every place you see small lights in electrical items, they are normally LEDs. They are available in red, yellow, green and blue, plus many different shapes. The most common shape for a Light Emitting Diode (LED) is rounded. The advantages of LEDs over bulbs are their: - small power consumption - long life - vibration resistance - strength - their ability to fit in small places Like all electronic components the LED has an Electronic Symbol. Symbol The two arrows symbolise the light being given out NOTE: When you are using a LED, you should be aware of the following points: 1. The LED will only light if it is connected the correct way round. The polarity of the legs can usually be iden- tified as shown in the diagram. A denotes the anode and C the cathode connection. The LED is too small to print on, so the Anode (+) leg is usually longer the than the Cathode (-). Symbol A Anode (+) connetion (plus) A C C Cathode (-) connection (minus) 2. The LED should not be subjected to more than 1.6 volts otherwise it can burn out. However most circuits need a greater supply than 1.6 volts and therefore you must add a resistor connected in series to ensure that the current flowing to the LED is kept under control. The most important component here is the RESISTOR Differing power sources need different values of resistor. Here is a list of the most common power sources and the necessary resistor values. 130 Ohm 4,5 Volt 180 Ohm 6 Volt 390 Ohm 9 Volt 510 Ohm 12 Volt 1,2 K Ohm 24 Volt E110626#1 3 The resistor The resistor is an electronic component which restricts the current flow in a circuit.The most common resistors are made from carbon on a ceramic core. (carbon is a poor conductor). At either end of the resistor is a wire for connection to other components. Coloured rings show the value of the resistor. Resistance is measured in OHMs. These coloured rings are a code to show the differing values of each resistor and whether it will let a lot or litt- le current flow through. So a resistor with a value of 1.8 K Ohm (1800 Ohms) will let less current pass as one of 130 Ohms. The following table shows the different Ohm values of resistors.

It is what is generally known as a semi-conductor device. Taking copper as a good conductor and plastic as a poor conductor, a diode is made from silicon, a material with properties in between these two. The silcon diode has a special character. The semi-conductor diode lets the current flow in one direction only and acts like the valve on a bicycle tyre which will let air in but not out. This means it has the flow direction and reverse closed direction. Due to this property diodes are used to convert alternating current to direct current by removing half of the in- coming wave. The diode can also be used to control the direction of current around a circuit. The diode has also an electronic symbol. This helps us to see how it functions. Looking at the diagram you must pay attention to the connections marked A = Anode (+) and C= Cathode (-). A C As diodes are also too small to print on, so the Cathode (-) connection is shown as a band. C A diode will only work when the correct connections are made to the battery. flow direction Anode + Cathode - If a diode is reversed the current cannot flow. closed direction Anode - Cathode + EXPERIMENTS USING A DIODE circuit diagram + A 130Ω C 130Ω - A C Experiment 1: Make up the circuit as shown in the diagram.

EXAMPLES OF USING A DIODE circuit diagram + T1 T2 T1 T2 A A C 130Ω C 130Ω - Experiment 1: Make up the circuit as shown in diagram 1. Imagine that you are making a intercom system such as in a wai- ting room. By pressing switch 1 LED 1 will light and by pressing switch 2 LED 2 will light. Now we can change the circuit so that by using switch 1 one LED can be lit and by using switch 2 both LEDs will light. + T2 Fix a wire to the two T1 switches A A Experiment 2: Now press switch 1 and then switch 2 ! What happens ? In both cases the two LEDs light. However we want the left hand LED to light by pressing switch 1. This means that current must NOT flow to the right hand LED. But by pressing switch 2 we want current to flow to both LEDs. How can we alter the circuit? Do you remember the characteristics of a diode? Use a diode to solve the problem. The following circuit diagram shows you how to build the correct circuit. If you are still stuck, look at the diagram on the front cover.

    10-12 PLTW Engineering 10-12/Electronic Components April 8, 2020 10-12/Digital Electronics Lesson: 4/8/2020 Objective/Learning Target: Students will be able to read the resistance value in Ohms of a common resistor and identify common electronics components. Resistors •. Resistors are an electronic component that resist the flow of current in an electrical circuit • They are measured in Ohms (Ω) • The different colored bands represent how much current flow that specific resistor can oppose • They are useful for reducing current before indicators like LED lights and buzzers. Resistors To read the resistors we use a Color Code Table 1. Starting at the end with the band closest to the end, we match the color with the number on the chart for the first 2 bands. 2. The 3rd band is designated as the multiplier. This indicates how many zeros to add to the number you got reading the first to bands. 3. The 4th band is designated as the tolerance. This tells us how much the actual resistance value may vary from what is represented on the chart. Resistors Lets do an example using the Color Code Table Starting at the end with the band closest to the end, we see the 1st band is Red, 2nd band is Violet. So, we have 27 so far. Next is the multiplier. In this case Brown, or 1. So we only add 1 zero. This puts the value of the resistor at 270 ohms. Finally, the tolerance is Gold or +-5%. So overall, the value of this resistor is 270Ω +-5% Capacitors • .Another common electronic component are capacitors.

  • Bipolar Junction Transistors (Bjts) and Unipolar Transistors (Fets)
    Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and Unipolar Transistors (FETs) (Prepared by Ron, K8DMR, for series of GRARA meetings this year but now only posted on their website because of COVID -19 Pandemic ) including Junction FETs (JFETs) Metal-Semiconductor FETs (MESFETs) and Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor FETs (MOSFETs) INTRODUCTION • A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a type of transistor that uses both electrons and holes as charge carriers. • Current is produced both by electric field action on the carriers (drift current) and by thermal diffusion of carriers from regions of high concentration to regions of lower carrier concentration. • Which current predominates depends on the region (p or n type material), material thickness, n/p doping, applied electric field, etc. • BJTs use two p-n type material junctions. Unipolar transistors such as field effect transistors use only one type of charge carrier, electrons for N-channel FETs and holes for p channel FETs. FETs either use a single p-n junction (JFET), a single metal- semiconductor junction (MESFET) or no junction at all (MOSFET). In the MOSFET case the carrier flow is controlled by a metallic plate separated from the semiconductor by an insulation layer, typically SiO2. Let’s consider the Bipolar Junction Transistor first. PNP and NPN BJT Circuit Symbols Showing Positive Current Directions and Positive Voltmeter Leads Electron and Hole flow in an NPN BJT in Active Mode OPERATING REGIONS IN AN NPN BJT Rc is the assumed collector load resistance Note that a BJT is a current controlled current source. Saturation Mode, Cutoff Mode, Active Mode • Saturation mode and cutoff mode are the two BJT modes most used in digital circuits.

Cavalcanti1,2, David S. Monte1,2, Aline N. Alves1,2, Fábio R. Barros2, Marcus A. P. Santos2, and Luiz A. P. Santos1,2 1 Departamento de Energia Nuclear Universidade Federal de Pernambuco Av. Prof. Luiz Freire, 1000 50740-540 Recife, PE [email protected] 2 Centro Regional de Ciências Nucleares do Nordeste (CRCN-NE / CNEN) Av. Prof. Luiz Freire, 1 50740-540 Recife, PE [email protected] ABSTRACT Photodiode and phototransistor are the most frequently used devices for measuring ionizing radiation in medical applications. The cited devices have the operating principle well known, however the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is not a typical device used as a detector for measuring some physical quantities for diagnostic radiation. In fact, a photodiode, for example, has an area about 10 mm square and a BJT has an area which can be more than 10 thousands times smaller. The purpose of this paper is to bring a new technique to estimate some physical quantities or parameters in diagnostic radiation; for example, peak kilovoltage (kVp), deep dose measurements. The methodology for each type of evaluation depends on the energy range of the radiation and the physical quantity or parameter to be measured. Actually, some characteristics of the incident radiation under the device can be correlated with the readout signal, which is a function of the electrical currents in the electrodes of the BJT: Collector, Base and Emitter.

The pressure sensing is achieved by incorporating a quantum tunnelling composite material composed of graphite nanoparticles in a rubber matrix into the multilayer nanostructure of a printed organic thin film transistor. This printed device was able to convert shock wave inputs rapidly and reproducibly into an inherently amplified electronic output signal. Variation of the organic ink material, solvents, and printing speeds were shown to modulate the multilayer nanostructure of the organic semiconducting and dielectric layers, enabling tuneable optimisation of the transistor response. The optimised printed device exhibits Citation: Griffith, M.J.; Cooling, rapid switching from a non-conductive to a conductive state upon application of low pressures whilst N.A.; Elkington, D.C.; Wasson, M.; operating at very low source-drain voltages (0–5 V), a feature that is often required in applications Zhou, X.; Belcher, W.J.; Dastoor, P.C.
