Components

There are many different types of electrical and electronic components, including resistors, capacitors and diodes. Each of these has a specific use in a circuit.

Components

Electronic components can be divided into two groups: discrete electronic components and integrated circuits (ICs).

Discrete electronic components

Discrete (meaning separate) electronic components can be selected individually and put together to make a circuit. Examples of discrete components include resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors.

Discrete components can also be used as components in circuits that include an integrated circuit. For example, a 555 astable integrated circuit requires two discrete resistors and a discrete capacitor to make it work.

Integrated circuits

These are miniature circuits etched onto a piece of silicon, often called a chip. These chips are fitted inside a protective plastic package and are manufactured in large quantities.

The circuits inside the package are arranged in different configurations depending upon the type of chip and its function. The most common type of configuration is called the dual-in-line or DIL package, which has two rows of connecting 'legs', one on each side.

You don't need to understand how the circuit inside a silicon chip works. It's best to think of ICs simply in terms of their function: eg as timers, counters, logic gates or operational amplifiers (op-amps).

Normally they are one of the process blocks in an electronic system, as in the image here:

When using ICs you need to know:

· which pins have to be connected

· the function of each pin

· how the IC is connected to the power supply

A circuit diagram that includes one or more ICs should show the pin numbers and how the pins are connected to the rest of the circuit.

Resistors

Resistors restrict or limit the flow of current in a circuit. The ability of a material or component to resist current flow is measured in ohms. There are three main types of resistor:

· fixed resistors

· variable resistors

· special resistors, such as thermistors and light-dependent resistors (LDRs)

Fixed resistors

These are the most common type of resistor. They have three important uses:

· protecting components

· dividing voltage between different parts of a circuit

· controlling a time delay
