A brief history of ElectronicsA brief history of Electronics
“Electronics has different meanings to different people and in different countries.
Hence, let me define the term in the sense that it is used here:
“Electronics is the science and the technology of the passage of charged particles in
a gas, in a vacuum, or in a semiconductor”. Please note that particle motion
confined within a metal only is not considered electronics.
Before electronic engineering came into existence electrical engineering
already flourished. Electrical engineering is the field which deals with devices that
depend solely on the electrons in metals; for example a generator, a motor, a light
bulb or a telephone. The principal benefactors of these devices are the wire
telephone or telegraph companies and the power industries.
Both electronics and electrical engineering owe their existence to the pioneering
work in electricity and magnetism of scientific giants such as Coulomb, Ampere,
Ohm, Gauss, Faraday, Henry, and Maxwell in about 1865, put together the
researches of the others into a consistent theory of electromagnetism, now called
Maxwell’s equations.
Here is a historical example of theory being ahead of experiment for although
Maxwell’s theory predicted that electromagnetic waves, it was not until 23 years
later (in 1888) that Hertz produced such radiation, using a spark-gap oscillator. In
1896 Marconi succeeded in transmitting Hertzian waves and detecting them at a
distance of about 2 miles. Wireless telegraphy had its feeble origin in this
experiment.
This history is divided into 2 periods of time, referred to simply as the past and
present. By past is meant the era of the tube-the vacuum tube or the gas tube.
The present starts with the invention of the transistors in 1948. Also included is a
section speculating briefly on the future.
The PastThe Past
The beginning of the electronics came in 1895 when H. A. Lorentz postulated the
existence of discrete chargers called electrons. Two years later J. J. Thompson found

these electrons experimentally. In the same year (1897) Braun built what was
probably the first electron tube, essentially a primitive cathode-ray tube.
Discovery of Vacuum TubesDiscovery of Vacuum Tubes
It was not until the start of the 20th
century that electronics began to take
technological shape. In 1904 Fleming
invented the diode which he called a
valve. It consisted of a heated wire which
emitted electrons separated a short
distance from a plate in a vacuum.
For a positive voltage applied to the
plate electrons were collected, whereas for a negative potential the current was
reduced to zero. This valve was used as a detector for wireless signals. Two years
later, Pickard tried a silicon crystal with a cat`s whisker (a pointed wire pressed into
silicon) as a detector. This was the first semiconductor diode. This device was very
unreliable, was soon abandoned, and semiconductor electronics died a premature
death in 1906.
The most important milestone in this early history
of electronics came in the same year (1906) when De
Forest put a third electrode (a grid) into the Fleming
valve, and thus invented the triode tube which he called
an audion. A small change in grid voltage resulted in a
large plate-voltage change. Hence, the audion was the
first amplifier. It took about five years to improve the
vacuum in the audion and to add an efficient oxide-
coated cathode in order to obtain a reliable electronic
device. Thus the age of practical electronics began in
about 1911.
Radio and TelevisionRadio and Television
Component Values 4
Kinal, Technical Center
The first application of electronics was to radio and simultaneously with the birth
of electronics, the IRE (the institute of Radio Engineers) was founded in the United
States in 1912.
In the period from 1936 to 1960 the new devices were closely spaced electrodes
(for a high-bandwidth product), miniature glass tubes, and, toward the end of the
period, color television tubes.
Major Armstrong in 1933 invented frequency modulation. About five years later
the first FM receiver was available. Electronic black and white television began in
about 1930 and commercial color television began around 1950, and many new
functions had to be performed.
This is an old model of a radio device.
This is one of the modern models of TV devices.
Electronic IndustriesElectronic Industries
This can fit into one or more of the following four principal groups, which shall be
called the four C´s:
Components, Communications, Control and Computation. The “Components”
companies up to this time were those which came onto existence to supply the
various types of tubes just described and others referred to later as well as the
passive-circuit elements, such as resistors, capacitors, coils, transformers and
others.
“Communications” refers to the industry built up around AM and FM radio, hi-fi
systems, and black and white as well as color TV receivers and transmitters.

“Control” was making itself evident in what was then referred to as “industrial
electronics”. Industrial electronics may be defined as “the use of electronic devices
in the control and operation of machines in industry (other than in communication
and computation)”.
The devices for industrial electronics were gaseous diodes and triodes
(thyratrons), pool-cathode devices, such as the Mercury arc rectifier, and high-
voltage and high-power tubes. The circuits for this period were power rectifiers,
high-voltage rectifiers, power amplifiers, high-voltage transmitting circuits, induction
and dielectric heating, power inverters (from dc to ac), measurements, motor
control, and the control of industrial processes. The “Computer” had barely made
its appearance at this time and, hence, this industry is discussed in detail in the
following.
Well, now write on your own words the answer for the following questions:

The Integrated CircuitThe Integrated Circuit
Shortly after joining Texas Instruments in
1958 Kilby conceived the monolithic idea, that
is, the concept of building an entire circuit out

of germanium or silicon. He used the bulk semiconductor to form a resistor, and he
also fabricated a diffused-layer resistor.
He built a capacitor by using an oxide layer on silicon, and he also thought of the
p-n junction capacitor. To demonstrate the feasibility of his concept, he built a
phase-shift oscillator and then a multi vibrator using these resistors, capacitors, and
a transistor, all made from germanium with thermally bonded gold connecting wires.
However, in the patent application, he indicated that laying down conducting
material could interconnect components. This
way, in 1959 the solid circuit, later called the
integrated circuit was born.
Semiconductor MemoriesSemiconductor Memories
A number of transistor configurations have
been devised for storing digital data. These are called random access memories
(RAMs), and Intel and Fairchild sold the first RAMs commercially in 1970. These
early RAM´s stored approximately 1,000 binary bits of information. By 1973 16,000-
bit memories were introduced by Intel and Mostek, and 65,000-bit RAMs are
expected to be commercially available in 1979.
The Computer IndustryThe Computer Industry
The most dramatic outgrowth of the
microelectronic revolution, however,
was the creation of an entirely new
industry “the computer industry”.
There has been a great deal of interest
in computing machines for over 300
Component Values 8
Kinal, Technical Center
years. For example, in 1633 Schickhard in Germany described a mechanical
computer to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. About the same
time Pascal, 1642 and Leibnitz, 1671, also had similar ideas. But the first really
serious effort to build a mechanical calculator was made about 200 years later
(1833) by Babbage, a mathematics professor in England. However, the technology
simply was not available to convert his ideas into a practicable machine. The first
calculator was electromechanical, not electronic, and IBM engineers built it in 1930.
IN 1970 IBM introduced the 370 systems, which included the first semiconductor
memories. In the present time, electronics has experienced a great development
and, microelectronics has allowed the invention of compact devices that, no matter
its size, people can store a lot of information there.
New devices contain compact accessories, this situation is very convenient for
people because this way they can take those devices anywhere and work,
communicate or store a great deal of data no matter where they are due to the
short size of such devices as for example: Lap tops, cell phones, digital cameras,
USB flash memories, etc.

Taking a look at Electronics FieldTaking a look at Electronics Field
In the electronics field you will find that there are many common concepts which
every body recognizes without any problem, but…. the question is people able to
give a definition about those common concepts? … How about you? … are you able
to define common concepts ? Well, let’s check out some of them:
Pulse code: Pulse code: It’s a code in which groups of pulses are used to represent
information. Morse code is an example of this.
FuseFuse: : It’s a protection device.
Ground: Ground: It’s a low resistance connection to the earth, or to a big conductor body
like the chassis of a vehicle or electronic equipment.
Conductivity: Conductivity: It’s the property of some objects to transport an electrical current.
Clock: Clock: It’s a device that marks hours, minutes and seconds.
Binary counter: Binary counter: It’s a circuit producing one output pulse by every two input pulses.
If input pulses are irregular the circuit is usually considered a counter, otherwise it’s
considered a frequency divisor.

Interface: Interface: It’s a separation between two devices with different functions, or
between systems in which data are expressed in different way.
Capacitor: Capacitor: It’s a component that fundamentally consists of two plates or electrodes
separated by dielectric material. It’s used because of its capability of electrical
charge storage.
Transformer: Transformer: It’s a very common electronic device used to change the tension of
an alternating power, to adapt impedances, to isolate when a physical connection to
the net is not required.
Semiconductors: Semiconductors: The physical characteristics, which allow us to distinguish among
an insulator, a semiconductor, and a metal, are discussed. The current in a metal is
due to the flow of negative charges (electrons), whereas the current in a
semiconductor results from the movement of both electrons and positive charges
(holes). A semiconductor may be doped with impurity atoms so hat the current is
due predominantly either to electrons or to holes.
The junction transistor:The junction transistor:
A junction transistor consists of a silicon (or germanium) crystal in which a layer
of n-type silicon is sandwiched between two layers of p-type silicon. Alternative, a
transistor may consist of a layer of p-type between two layers of n-type material.
Integrated Circuit: Integrated Circuit: An integrated circuit consists of a single-crystal chip of silicon,
typically 50 by 50 mils in cross section, containing both active and passive elements
and their interconnections. The same processes used to fabricate individual
transistors and diodes produce such circuits.
LED (light emitting diode): LED (light emitting diode): It’s a p-n joint that emits visible radiation.
Proto board:Proto board: It’s a surface where projects can be elaborated.
Clockwise:Clockwise: It indicates that you must follow the same direction as the clock hands.
Component Values 11
Kinal, Technical Center
Counter clockwise: Counter clockwise: It indicates that you must follow the opposite direction as the
clock hands.
Electron:Electron: It’s the particle of the atom negatively charged and principle of the
electronics.
Electricity:Electricity: It’s the flow of electrons in a conductor material. This definition is not
related to electronics at all but it is important that you have it in mind.
Now it’s your turn. Ask to any electronics student, investigate in a book or
dictionary and give the definition for the following concepts.
1. - Logic gates: (Puerta Lógica)Logic gates are the building blocks of
digital circuits. Combinations of logic gates form circuits designed
with specific tasks in mind. For example, logic gates are
combined to form circuits to add binary numbers (adders), set and
reset bits of memory (flip flops), multiplex multiple inputs, etc.
2. - Strobe: 1 n muestreo m 2 vt muestrear address strobe n muestreo de direcciones m
3. - Timer: Temporizador
n 1 a device for measuring, recording, or indicating time 2 a switch or regulator that causes a mechanism to operate at a specific time or at predeter-
mined intervals 3 a person or thing that times

Everything people do, it’s
because of their abilities, it means,
everyone is able to do something,

than one thing and It’s really amazing the fact that there have been people with
great abilities. An example of these people is the antique Greek philosophers. They
managed various sciences such as mathematics, physics, arts, and architecture.
Other people can practice many sports. People can have two types of abilities.
Natural abilitiesNatural abilities
Everyone is born with a range of abilities unique to him or her. It’s fair to say that
these abilities are essentially hard-wired. They mature during infancy and can be
measured in most individuals after the age of fourteen.
One example of an innate ability is manifested when an individual is confronted
with a number of seemingly unrelated objects or facts and is asked to organize them
into their unifying relationship. We call this ability Classification. Individuals who
score high in this ability are good at solving new problems and like change and
challenge. Persons who score low will find that they work best when their tasks are
well defined and organized.
It’s very important to define all the abilities to determine the patterns or
“clusters” into which each person’s abilities fall. Armed with this knowledge, the
individual is able to avoid stress and achieve satisfaction in his every day activities.
Acquired abilitiesAcquired abilities
You can acquire abilities by studying and training with a defined program, but if
you acquire abilities according to your natural abilities, this might provide better
results in your new acquired ability. One example of an acquired ability is to realize
the basic arithmetic operations; you develop your abstract and logical abilities. As
shown in the picture
computer
programmers have
acquired the ability

of designing different programs such as a “website”, an “interesting game”, “Pedro”
and so on.
In the other hand, pronouncing a speech is an ability that you can get by
developing your verbal ability. It’s easier and more convenient to acquire abilities
according to your natural abilities, this way you will be a better professional, a
better athlete, a better soccer player, a better architect, a better engineer and so
on.
Acquired abilities can be also gotten when you study a technical career as for
example: mechanics, electronics, electricity, paint, etc. or when you practice some
sport as for example surfing, skiing, rugby, etc.
Now, read the following expression: “a leader is born” or “a leader is done” what
do you think? Give your opinion, if you give the correct answer, you have given a
step analysis skill, otherwise you must read a bit more.

DIFFERENTIATING FACTS FROM OPINIONS You reader, are not only expected to read for pleasure and entertainment, but to
gather information for your own writing projects. Distinguishing between fact and
opinion is an analytical reading skill.
This analytical reading skill will help you to recognize an author’s opinion and
separate it from facts. By recognizing facts and opinions, you will be able to form
and support your own opinions on controversial issues.
Can you tell me what an opinion is? Ask your partner to give examples of
statements that are opinions that do not use the words, “I think.” For example,
“Everyone knows that California is the best place to live.”
How do we know that all people feel that California is the best place to live? We
could find people who would argue that statement.
Let’s now discuss how facts are
different from opinions.
Opinions can be argued, facts
cannot.
Facts can be proved, “The
state of California is located in
the United States.” As you use
your critical thinking skills, you
will start to see that facts and
opinions are not always a black
and white issue, especially when
a particular point of view is not
an accepted fact.
Can you tell me what a fact
is? Ask your partner to give
examples of statements that are
Component Values 17
Kinal, Technical Center
facts. How do you differentiate between fact and opinion in the society? Make sure
you understand that you are able to explain why you feel a statement is an opinion
or a fact. In order to differentiate between facts from opinions, always remember
this:
A fact is something that matters with independency of your will, for example:
“the year has 365 days”, or “in summer days are longer than nights”, or “sunset
takes place at the end of the afternoon”; you cannot change these situations, you
can only prove them.
Instead, an opinion is a commentary about any situation; it means that an
opinion is what you think about situations or facts. Opinions usually are expressed
with the words “I think . . .” “I guess . . .” or something so. Actually, there are as
much opinions as people in this world (or maybe much more); even people can
express lots of opinions about exactly the same subject.
But, even though there are many similar opinions about a specific subject, it does
not mean that opinion will become a fact, this situation is called a “general truth”. A
general truth will never change a fact, it will only modify people behavior for some
weeks, months or even some years (such as fashions), for example: “In summer,
many people travel to Caribbean islands”, or “adults use to watch TV at night”, or
“Surfing is very exiting”, or “the best TV programs are transmitted in the morning”.
In concern to these general opinions, there are thousands people who share the
same idea, but there are also thousands people who do not share that idea; this is
exactly the reason that marks the difference between a fact and an opinion.
Component Values 18
Kinal, Technical Center
Next you will find several expressions; your mission is to figure out which is an
opinion and which is a fact. To complete this task successfully, you have to analyze
every expression, decide if it is an opinion, a fact or a general truth.
You will be able to ask your partner, you family or if you find this task a bit
difficult, ask to your teacher. Underline the word you consider is correct option.
