WIDER MY MINDS ABOUT ELECTRONIC

This week our Introduction to Electronic System lecture is being given by Mr.Rasli bin Abd. Ghani. Mr Rasli teaches us what the meaning of electronic, taught us about insulator, conductor and semi-conductor and of cause a little about basic electronic component. Mr. Rasli tell that words electronic comes from two words which is electron and electrical with deals the generation, distribution, switching, storage and conversion of electrical energy to and from other energy forms using wires, motors, generators, batteries, switches, relays, transformers, resistors and other passive components.

Electronic Symbol

Insulator, conductor and semi-conductor are solid-state classifications that differentiate materials according to their relativity towards electric current. Insulator is materials that will refuse to carry an electric current. They are useful for jobs like coating electric wires to prevent us from getting shock. While conductor and semi-conductor is materials that allow electric current to flow through it, but the different is that semi conductor only allow small portion of electric current to flow but not as good as conductor.

OLED has been used as TV display

Mr. Rasli gave us brief explanation on basic electronic component such as OLED, FPGA, power electronic and IC. Mr. Rasli tells that OLED or Organic Light-Emitting Diode will become more and more famous in coming year because of its flexibility and its function that can be used in any display electronic component. 

FPGA SAMPL

Besides OLED, FPGA or field-programmable gate arrays also being touch by Mr.Rasli. FPGA is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by the customer or designer after manufacturing that using hardware description language. Next is,  power electronic that function as an application of solid-state electronics for the control and conversion of electric power. The power conversion systems can be classified according to the type of the input and output power such as rectifier, inverter, DC to DC converter and AC to AC converter. Example of this application, DC/DC converters are used in most mobile devices to maintain the voltage at a fixed value whatever the voltage level of the battery is. 

small but very usefull

Lastly, Mr. Rasli teaches us about IC or Integrated Circuit that composed a lot of transistor that keep double every two years. IC can make electronic component to become smaller but still functioning like the usual one.

Thanks a lot to Mr.Rasli for given us a new knowledge and take our mind deeper into electronic world so that we can focus on our study field which is SYSTEM ELECTRONIC. =)
