    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    A reference designator unambiguously identifies the location of a component within an electrical schematic or on a printed circuit board.The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15.

  3. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    Common circuit diagram symbols (US ANSI symbols) An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may ...

  9. List of MOSFET applications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MOSFET_applications

    The MOSFET is the most widely used type of transistor and the most critical device component in integrated circuit (IC) chips. [2] Planar process, developed by Jean Hoerni at Fairchild Semiconductor in early 1959, was critical to the invention of the monolithic integrated circuit chip by Robert Noyce later in 1959.
