Best Answer

Eniac didn't have any transistors. It was built with 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, and a whole host of other components. But no transistors.

The first transistor was created in November, 1947, almost two years after Eniac was completed.

What is the composition of RAM in terms of transistors and capacitors?

Composition of ram: There are many transistors layed for addressing (accessing specific modules) then there are a series of transistors coupled to a capasitor. That allows for one bit of data to be stored.


Why are npn transistors used more often than pnp transistors?

The primary reason that NPN transistors are used more often than PNP transistors is that they usually operate faster (at higher frequencies) because the mobility of the current carriers in NPN transistors (electrons) is much higher than that of the current carriers in PNP transistors (holes).


Is there another use for semiconductors other than to conduct electricity?

Yes. In electronic devices, semiconductors fulfill a variety of functions, including current filtering - a semiconductor diode only lets current pass in one direction - and signal amplification, using transistors. Transistors have many uses, including for electronic switching. Do some reading on diodes and transistors, while bearing in mind that they use semiconductors.Yes.

How many transistors did the ENIAC computer have?

None, the transistor did not yet exist. It was built with vacuum tubes and had roughly 18,000 of them.When a project was done to recreate ENIAC on a chip, it took about 180,000 transistors. But you have to realize that the vast majority of these transistors are not active processing transistors, but are just switches to simulate the plugging in of the program cables into different connectors on the various panels. Only one wafer of ENIAC on a chip was ever made, it needed a PC to translate a cabling diagram to internal switch settings and load the settings into the chip. The PC was a more powerful computer than ENIAC. Most of the ENIAC on a chip devices never saw use, they went to museums or computer history collectors.

How many transistors on an integrated circuit?

ICs have been built with as few as two to as many as hundreds of billions of transistors. I believe the first germanium prototype IC built by Kilby may have had only one transistor (it was an integrated circuit not for having many transistors, but because it integrated both resistors and transistors into a single germanium crystal).
