Introduction

RGB, scart S video Composite Component Vga

Twisted nematic screen TN In plane switching ips screens

electronics: crystal radio

engineering electromagnets

Residual circuit breaker

Electronics: logic analyser

Verilog in electronics? It’s a language, but is useful even without software? Alt can have big page on domain specific languages and packages + also vhdl (vhsic hardware description language), (very high speed integrated circuit)

Electronics: printed circuit board; wire wrap; point to point construction Electronics busbar

ram: 2 types: static random-access memory (SRAM); dynamic random access memory (DRAM) electical stuff: field-effect transistor; bipolar junction transistor; point contact transistor; transistor-transistor logic; diode-transistory logic; resistor transistor logic

truth table. col for each variable. column for outcome. karnough map. on 2 plane. eg combine ab and have against c. cells filled with results. eg if 3 var can have 4x2 table. each ab comb on one axis, c on other. can then look at the map and group the 1s in powers of 2, ie 1 2 4 etc can then turn this into logical circuit. ie can take any truth table and make digital signal versions. "OR" a bunch of "AND"s. each group of 1s is an AND, then all separate groups are put into OR. how to know which way to orient k map? trial error?

discrete circuits printed circuit boards (PCBs). aka printed wiring boards (PWBs)

"bread boards"?

printing circuits and washing them to make conduct

soldering wires to circuit

discrete circuits

parallel and sequential circuits

ground and mains

role of ground (does this only make sense in context of mains ie no battery?)

LOGIC

implementing an adder, and other logic stuff inc nand gates, or gates, etc

various logic gates from transistors

implementing logic with just an adder? + "or". multiplying together whether = 0? + "not" from arrangement of jump? + "and" from arrangement?

more complex

Programmable logic device

INTEGRATED

memory page memory banking ecc on ram ddr12345

storage: + cd/dvd/bluray + tapes + Punch card

storage: + Input/Output operations per second (IOPS)

Random-Access Memory (RAM)

Read/write times do not depend on location of data. They do if some other types?

ecc + or is this later? requires more advanced system?

ram is example of device. can be read or written to.

hard drives: + smr vs cmr + solid state drives

digital camera

these use semiconductors
