• Definitions:
• Transistors are tiny electrical devices that can be found in everything from radios to robots. They have two key properties: 1) they can amplify ...
• an electronic device that controls current flow without use of a vacuum.
• An electronic device used to control the flow of electricity.
• Regulates current or voltage flow and acts as a switch or gate for electronic signals (See SCR).
• An electronic component used as a switch to open and close with extreme speed. Replaced the vacuum tube due to its reliability, long life, and much higher switching speed.
• An electronic device that can regulate electricity and act as an on/off switch. In a computer, this on/off ability is used to represent binary digits (bits). A CPU contains millions of transistors.
• The basic component of most amplifiers. A glob of magic stuff (semiconducting solid-state material) that amplifies electrical current. From smaller than a pin head up to an Oreo cookie in size (transistor case included). Reviled by some high-end types as having a harsh inhuman sound.
• A small chip of semiconductor material that amplifies or switches electrical current. (See semiconductor.)
• A device used to amplify a signal or open and close a circuit. In a computer, it functions as an electronic switch.
• A semiconductor device with more than one positive-negative (pn) junction, which can either amplify current or voltage, or act as an on-off switch.
• An active component of an electronic circuit consisting of a small block of semiconducting material to which at least three electrical contacts are made, usually two closely spaced rectifying (ie, converting an alternating current (ac) to a unidirectional one) contacts and one ohmic ...
• A device incorporating semiconductor material and suitable contacts capable of performing electrical functions (such as voltage, current or power amplification) with low power requirements.
• An electronic device that controls current flow and serves as the basic element of a computer chip. Consists of three terminals: a source, a gate, and a drain. Applying a voltage to the gate controls current flow between the source and the drain. Integrated Chip
• A semiconductor device used in amplifiers, oscillators, and control circuits in which current flow is modulated by voltage or current applied to electrodes. Most transistors are based on the use of silicon.
• a semiconductor device with three terminals where one terminal can be use to control the flow of current through the other two terminals.
• (component) An active solid-state semiconductor device with three or more electrodes and capable of amplification, rectification, and switching. Important features are low power, small size, and long life. Two main types are bipolar and field effect.
• Electronic switches within the CPU that exists in two states, conductive (on) or nonconductive (off). The resulting combinations are used to create the binary code that is basis for machine language.
• An active solid-state device in which larger output current is obtained by small changes in the input current.
• Term derived from "transfer resistor." Semiconductor device that can be used as an amplifier or as an electronic switch.
• an electronic switch, originally in its own container with three wires coming out, now integrated in large numbers into miniature circuits on chips.
• A basic solid-state control device which allows or disallows current flow between two terminals, based on the voltage or current delivered to a third terminal.
• An active semiconductor device having three or more electrodes.
• This is a silicon based semiconductor that is able to change a large current based on an initial smaller current. This can be used as a switch or an amplification step. It is part of the group of solid state amplifiers.
• A three-terminal semiconductor device used for amplification, switching and detection.
• a semiconductor device capable of amplification
• A transistor is a semiconductor device, commonly used as an amplifier. The transistor is the fundamental building block of the circuitry that governs the operation of computers, cellular phones, and all other modern electronics.
• Transistor is the fourth studio album by 311. It was released on August 5, 1997. The album was certified Platinum, having sold over 1 million copies.
• Transistor is the seventh studio album by the Norwegian hard rock band TNT. While it kept the alternative feel of Firefly, it was more successful than Firefly, with the song "Just Like God" receiving some radioplay.
