Introduction
Trang 2¢ Electrical Engineering is the field which deals with devices that depend solely on the motion
of electrons in metals
¢ Electronics is the technology of the passage of charged particles in gas, vacuum, or
semiconductors

Introduction
Trang 3History
¢ The origin of term "Electronics" began in 1895, H.A Lorentz postulated the existence of
discrete charges which he called "electrons"
¢ 1906 De Forest built the first active electronic
device, called "triode" made the first amplifier
¢ Semiconductor era began in 1908 A crystal
diode was invented by Pickard
LE210 Lecture Notes 2002 Edition:
Trang 4¢ In December 1947, at Bell Telephone Laboratories Walter H Brattain and John Bardeen invented the first solid state Amplifier, a point contact transistor was built from germanium crystal However the point contact transistors performance was very
poor
¢ At the same time, William B Schockley, the group leader, recognized the difficulties with the point
contact and proposed the junction transistors and immediately developed the theory of the P-N
Junction based on Quantum Physics in 1950

Introduction
Trang 5¢ In 1951 transistors were produced
commercially Brattain, Bardeen, and Schockley were awarded the NOBEL Prize in Physics in
1956 This was the first NOBEL award given for an engineering device 1n nearly 50 years
¢ 1954, Texas Instrument built the silicon
transistor commercially
¢ 1960 SSI (Small Scale Integration) were
produced, the first generation of the integrated circuit era
Trang 61966 MSI (Medium Scale Integration), the
second generation
1969 LSI (Large Scale Integration), the third generation
1975 VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), the fourth generation
1990 ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration), the fifth generation
2000 GSI (Giant Scale Integration)

¢ Electronic systems consist of signal sources or
transducers, processors and actuators
Transducer

Introduction

Trang 11All of physical quantities are converted into electrical quantities by transducers and/or sensors
Processors process the electrical signal in some manner required by their actuators of the systems, for instance
amplifying, filtering, etc
Transducers and actuators are devices used in
converting an energy form into electric current or
voltage and vice versa
Sensors are devices that change their electrical
properties which 1s caused by a physical quantity
change
