  2. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    Capacitors are different from resistors and inductors in that the impedance is inversely proportional to the defining characteristic; i.e., capacitance. A capacitor connected to an alternating voltage source has a displacement current to flowing through it.

  3. Memory cell (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_cell_(computing)

    Computer memory used in most contemporary computer systems is built mainly out of DRAM cells; since the layout is much smaller than SRAM, it can be more densely packed yielding cheaper memory with greater capacity. Since the DRAM memory cell stores its value as the charge of a capacitor, and there are current leakage issues, its value must be ...

  4. Dynamic random-access memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random-access_memory

    The time required to discharge a capacitor thus depends on what logic value is stored in the capacitor. A capacitor containing logic one begins to discharge when the voltage at the access transistor's gate terminal is above V CCP. If the capacitor contains a logic zero, it begins to discharge when the gate terminal voltage is above V TH. [35]

  5. Regenerative capacitor memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_capacitor_memory

    The first regenerative capacitor memory built was the rotating capacitor drum memory of the Atanasoff–Berry Computer (1942). Each of its two drums stored thirty 50-bit binary numbers (1500 bits each), rotated at 60 rpm and was regenerated every rotation (1 Hz refresh rate).

  6. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

    Capacitors used for suppressing undesirable frequencies are sometimes called filter capacitors. They are common in electrical and electronic equipment, and cover a number of applications, such as: Glitch removal on direct current (DC) power rails; Radio frequency interference (RFI) removal for signal or power lines entering or leaving equipment

    A microscope image of an integrated circuit die used to control LCDs.The pinouts are the dark circles surrounding the integrated circuit.. An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or simply chip, is a set of electronic circuits, consisting of various electronic components (such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors) and their interconnections.

  9. Electronic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_circuit

    An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric current can flow. It is a type of electrical circuit.
