ELECTRONICS
Electronics is the study
of electronic components,
circuits, devices
characteristics to form
electronic machines and
systems
BRIEF HISTORY OF ELECTRONICS
AND ITS DEVELOPMENT

1897

John Ambrose
Fleming invented
vacuum tube.
Lee De Forest implemented the
vacuum triode to amplify
electrical signals.

Introduction of tetrode
and pentode tubes that
dominated until the World
War II.
Vacuum Tube

Cathode or
Filament

Grid

Anode or Plate
Vacuum Tube

Tetrode and Pentode

To amplify radio technology

and long distance telephony.
1948

Transistor era began

with the invention
junction transistor.

Nobel Prize
 Transistor replaced with a
bulky vacuum tube that would
consume high power.

The use of germanium and

silicon semiconductor
materials improved transistor.
1958-
1975
Introduction of
Integrated Circuit.
Single chip which
resulted in low: cost, size
and weight electronic
devices.
1951-
1958
JFETS and MOSFETs
developed.

Improved the device

designing process and
by making more reliable
and powerful
transistors.
MOSFET

JFET
 Digital Integrated circuit
development that changed the
overall architecture of
computer.

Transistor-transistor logic
(TTL)
Integrated injection logic (I2L)
Emitter coupled logic (ECL)
1969
Introduction of
MICROPROCESSOR by Intel.

Development of analog integrated

circuits that introduced an
operational amplifier for an analog
signal processing.
21st Century

Gadgets
Home appliances
Computers
Transport system
Cell phones
Cameras
Television
