 The control grid is the element of a triode vacuum tube is used to
regulate the flow of electrons between cathode and plate. (G6B10)
H=Heater/Filament; C=Cathode;
S=Screen Grid; P=Plate
 The primary purpose of a screen grid in a vacuum tube is to reduce
grid-to-plate capacitance. (G6B12)

 A Field Effect Transistor is the solid state device most like a
vacuum tube in its general operating characteristics. (G6B11)
• In the construction of a MOSFET the gate is separated from the channel
with a thin insulating layer.
• The Gate is similar to the grid of a tube, it controls current flow.

 The cases of some large power transistors must be insulated from ground
to avoid shorting the collector or drain voltage to ground. (G6B08)

Oscillators & Components
 The stable operating points for a bipolar transistor used as a switch
in a logic circuit are its saturation and cut-off regions. (G6B07)
• Saturation is where the transistor is Base biased for maximum emitter to
collector current flow
• Cut-off is where the transistor is base biased for minimum emitter to collector
current flow
 In a MOSFET, the gate is separated from the channel with a thin
insulating layer. (G6B09)
Oscillators & Components
 The approximate junction threshold voltage of a germanium diode is
0.3 volts. (G6B03)
• This is the voltage drop across the diode junction when it is conducting in the
forward direction.
 The approximate junction threshold voltage of a silicon diode is 0.7
volts. (G6B05)
• This is the voltage drop across the diode junction when it is conducting in the
forward direction
 Lower capacitance is an advantage of using a Schottky diode in an RF
switching circuit as compared to a standard silicon diode. (G6B06)
• It is desirable to have low capacity across the diode junction in higher
frequencies where the capacitive reactance forms a significant path around the
diode when reverse (Back) biased in the non conductive state.

 High power consumption is one disadvantage of an incandescent
indicator compared to a LED. (G6C07)
 An LED is forward biased when emitting light. (G6C08)

 The two major ratings that must not be exceeded for silicon-diode
rectifiers are peak inverse voltage; average forward current (G6B02)
 An advantage of using the binary system when processing digital
signals is that binary "ones" and "zeros" are easy to represent
with an "on" or "off" state. (G7B02)
In digital systems,
binary numbers are
used to write and
keep track of the
many possible
combinations of the
two electrical states

 For a two input AND gate, the output is high only when both inputs
are high. (G7B03)

inputs are high. (G7B04)

 Integrated circuits that provide more complex logic functions, such
as counters and shift registers, are also available. A 3-bit binary
counter has 8 states. (G7B05)

 A linear voltage regulator, is an example of an analog integrated
circuit.(G6C01)
Schematic symbols and actual linear voltage regulators
Oscillators & Components
 Low power consumption is an advantage of CMOS integrated
circuits compared to TTL integrated circuits. (G6C03)
• CMOS is the most commonly used digital logic family of integrated circuits.
 The term ROM means Read Only Memory. (G6C04)
 ROM is characterized as “non-volatile,” meaning the stored
information is maintained even if power is removed. (G6C05)
 Complex digital circuitry can often be replaced by a
microcontroller. (G7B01)
