Transistor is the building block for the processor. Without the transistor, some say our servers would be three stories high, and laptops would be a prop on Star Trek. Our televisions would still use vacuum tubes, and our cars couldn't guide us to the nearest Indian restaurant.
without the transistor, what would the digital economy look like? Would Microsoft Corp. and Google Inc. have become giants? Would geeks have become cool, rich guys driving BMWs?

∙ 11y agoTransistors are used in places where the vacuum tubes of yester-years are used. Vacuum tubes were bulky, consumed a lot of energy and produced unnecessary heat as a byproduct. There were not stable in their performance. Transistors are small and with advancement in technology they are becoming so small that you cannot see them with the naked eye (as in integrated circuits and chips). They occupy very less space and use very much less energy. They are dependable, produce less heat.

At their core, transistors have the ability to smoothly regulate a larger current in proportion to a (much smaller) driving current. The ON/OFF action happens if we disregard the entire "middle" of this curve and take only two input values - 1 (ON) and 0 (OFF).
But the transistor really begins to shine when its full capability is used - like in all kinds of amplifiers (audio, video etc.). That's how a relatively quiet sound (from, say, a speaker jack) can be plugged into an amplifier and drive huge speakers - the more "on" the signal is, the more "ON" the output will be, with many, many values between 0 and 1.

What are the differences between analog and digital transistors?
transducer convert one energy to other energy .now in analog transducer it convert energy use of analog signal and digital it converts use og digital signal
Why is germanium important?
Germanium has many important uses that relate to science, medicine or even every day life. It is one of the largest used conductors used in transistors.
Does voltage drop have an important effect?
A: IN transistors it is very important since they themselves are voltage amplifiers

What is a one important thing about demi lovato?
One thing that is important about her is her magical life and family and being a famous and having fans. : - )
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.
What is one important thing about an eagle?
its cool
