What is the evolution of Intel computer?
It starts with the 4004 chipset (4 bit) and 8008 microprocessor (8 bit). The successor of the 4004 was the 4040, but this architecture was a dead end. The successors of the 8008 were the 8080, 8085, 8086, 8088, 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium, etc. including the current multicore microprocessors. IBM chose to base their PC on the 8086 and 8088, then as successive newer microprocessors were developed new versions of the IBM PC used those microprocessors. Intel also produced many specialized microprocessors and microcontrollers including some RISC microprocessors (e.g. i860, i960). Current Apple Macintosh computers also use the latest Intel multicore microprocessors.
Why jfet is called as junction field effect transistor?
Because the insulation between the gate and the channel is only a reverse biased PN junction. If this junction were to become forward biased the jfet would no longer operate as a transistor at those times.
What are the active electronic components?
Active devices are those devices which can produce power or which can amplify the signal Such devices are- diode transistor op-amp
WHAT WOULD CAUSE Number one and six cylinder miss firing CHANGED ALL PLUGS AND COIL PACKS?
Depending on the manufacturer, many coil packs mount on a large transistor plate that actually fires the coil pack. It's not uncommon for those transistor plate to fail.
Compare the products today with those ten yrs ago?
todays product is high tech compare to the other ten years ago
What did the dollar bill look like in 1970?
In the 1970s US $1 bills used the same design as those currently being printed.
What is the advantage of darlington transistor to an ordinary bipolar junction transistor?
higher current handling / heat dissipation This is not really true as those are not singular characteristics of darlingtons. The major characteristics of a darlington is high gain, typically ranging from over 100 to 1000. And since there are essentially two transistors in the case of a darlington and the base of a darlington is connected to the base of the first transistor whose emitter is connected to the base of the second (power or output) transistor, the forward voltage drop from the base to the emitter of the darlington is approximately 2 times the forward voltage drop of a single transistor. it is a beta multiplier therefore it has higher emitter current capability and it not a hi gain per say just higher current capability as opposed to a regular transistor. usage is for an emitter follower which has no voltgage gain at all.
How did integrated circuits help in the development of computer?
Those made it possible to build components much cheaper, to put lots of components into a tiny space (modern ICs have the equivalent of billions of transistors; in the past, each transistor used to be a separate component); and to work with a very low power consumption per transistor.
What are the applications of microprocessors in daily life?
1. hard disk management 2. Execute instruction 3. take input from input device and send to output device 4. Storage and retrieval of data from RAM 5. Threading for multi tasking
What is acrylic enamel paint?
This is the common car paint from the 1970s through the mid 1990s It is a development of earlier enamel paints and is still available for those who want it.
Was the Godfather and A Clockwork Orange popular movies in the 1970s?
Yes , the two were very popular because of the two film's appeal to those who favored violence in film .
