- smaller
- less waste heat, ran cooler
- did not require high voltages to operate
- lower power consumption
- no filament/heater to burn out, more reliable
- not sensitive to shock or vibration
- both negative and positive current carrier versions available (tubes only have negative current carriers, electrons)
What else can I help you with?
How did colossus work without transistors?
There were vacuum tubes before transistors
What do you call the vacuum tubes used in transistor radios?
You don't, there aren't any. However some radios in the early 1950s did use both vacuum tubes and transistors. This was because early junction transistors were too slow to operate at RF so vacuum tubes were used in the RF and IF sections. These radios were called hybrid radios because they used both vacuum tubes and transistors.
Transistors replaced to amplify electric signals?
vacuum tubes
What technology replaced vacuum tubes in the second generation?
Vacuum tubes were first replaced by transistors, and later by integrated circuits.
Why were the vacuum tubes used instead of transistors in early computers?
Early transistors were much slower and far more expensive than vacuum tubes. Also computers built before 1948 there were no transistors to use at all.
Vaccum tubes were replaced by what?
Vacuum tubes were largely replaced by transistors. Transistors are smaller, more reliable, and generate less heat compared to vacuum tubes. This transition led to the development of smaller and more efficient electronic devices.
What are the advantages oe transistors over vacuum tubes?
6u76yu
What are vacuum tubes and transistors?
They are devices that are used to control the flow of current.
What replaced vacuum tubes in the computer?
Integrated circuits (in many microprocessor integrated circuits) containing many billions of transistors each.
What roles has vacuum tubes played in computer development?
vacuum tubes are the switching components in the first generation computers to process data. later they were replaced by transistors.
Are there home theater systems available that use vacuum tubes instead of transistors?
yes, and vac tubes are the most efficient
What was the first computer consisted of?
Mostly vacuum tubes, in place of today's more modern transistors.
