Understanding Circuit Board Electronic Components: A Comprehensive Guide

In today's digital world, electronic devices have become an essential part of our daily lives. But what makes these devices tick? At the heart of every electronic device lies a circuit board—a masterpiece of tiny electronic components working together to perform complex tasks. In this article, we’ll dive deep into the fascinating world of circuit board electronic components, exploring each element’s role and how they contribute to the overall functionality of the device.

What is a Circuit Board?

A circuit board, often referred to as a PCB (Printed Circuit Board), is a flat board used to mechanically support and electrically connect various electronic components. These components work in unison to perform a specific task. Think of the circuit board as the skeleton and nervous system of an electronic device—it holds everything together and allows communication between parts.

Types of Circuit Boards

Single-sided PCB: Has one layer of conducting material.

Double-sided PCB: Contains two layers for components and connections.

Multi-layer PCB: Complex boards with multiple layers for advanced applications.

The Role of Electronic Components on a Circuit Board

Every electronic device you interact with is powered by a carefully designed circuit board filled with various components. These components might be tiny, but each one has a critical role in the operation of the device. Here's a breakdown of the most important electronic components you’ll find on a typical circuit board.

1. Resistors

Resistors are fundamental components that control the flow of electrical current. They resist the flow of electrons, hence the name "resistor." Their primary function is to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, and divide voltages in a circuit. Without resistors, circuits would allow too much current to flow, potentially damaging other components.

Types of Resistors

Fixed resistors: Have a set resistance value.

Variable resistors: Allow adjustment of the resistance.

2. Capacitors

Capacitors store and release electrical energy in a circuit. They are often compared to small rechargeable batteries that quickly charge and discharge. Capacitors help smooth out fluctuations in voltage, filter noise, and store energy for future use.

Common Uses of Capacitors

Energy storage

Signal filtering

Voltage stabilization

3. Inductors

Inductors are components that store energy in a magnetic field when electrical current flows through them. They resist changes in current and are typically used in circuits to filter signals, manage power, and store energy.

Applications of Inductors

Power supplies

Radio frequency circuits

Noise suppression in circuits

4. Diodes

A diode is like a one-way valve for electricity, allowing current to flow in only one direction. They are vital in circuits to prevent reverse currents, which can damage components.

Types of Diodes

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs): Produce light when current flows through.

Zener diodes: Regulate voltage within a circuit.

5. Transistors

The transistor is a versatile component used to amplify or switch electronic signals. In essence, transistors are like tiny switches that turn signals on and off rapidly, making them essential in modern electronics.

Types of Transistors

NPN transistors: Allow current flow when a small voltage is applied to the base.

PNP transistors: Conduct when the base is negatively charged.

How Circuit Board Components Work Together

In a circuit, each component has a specific role, and together they form a cohesive system. For example:

Capacitors and resistors may work together to filter signals or smooth out voltage fluctuations.

Transistors and diodes ensure that signals are amplified or directed properly.

Integrated circuits handle the complex tasks, processing data, and controlling the overall system.

Choosing the Right Components for Your Circuit Board

When designing or repairing a circuit board, choosing the correct components is crucial. Some factors to consider include:

Voltage requirements

Power consumption

Signal type and frequency

Physical size and compatibility

Conclusion

Circuit boards are an integral part of any electronic device. The various components on the board each play a specific role in ensuring the device functions as intended. Understanding these components, from resistors to integrated circuits, is essential for anyone working with electronics, whether you're designing a new system or troubleshooting an existing one.

USS Texas History series: Primary Power

The round device at low, left is a motor generator set in Interior Communications compartment. Above it are two very old starter boards. The left one controls that m-g set. The right one controls a set that is out of frame. That one is dated 1918 and provided power to the newly installed Ford range keeper that generated firing solutions for the 14" guns.

Information from Tom Scott, a Volunteer at the Battleship Texas Foundation:

"AC power was certainly around by 1910 and was rapidly gaining traction throughout the country as the primary way of providing electric power, meaning the basic knowledge and technology for its use was available. So, the decision to use 120 volts D.C. on the ship wasn't based upon lack of ability. I am not aware of any historic documentation that discusses the Navy's decision for D.C., but what we can talk about are some of its advantages that contributed to its use and what was done to overcome its disadvantages.

AC current offers a couple of major advantages over DC, it's more efficient and its voltage can be easily changed using transformers. Fundamental to the nature of electricity is the higher the circuit voltage that serves a load, the lower the amperage required to run it, and vice versa. This made the use of 120 volts problematic because it required very large amperage circuits to power big loads like the 150 hp steering motor and the large number of motors sized 10hp and higher. My feeling is that it was selected due to the inability use transformers on a D.C. circuit to change voltage and the predominance of 120 volt loads on the ship that included hundreds of light fixtures and portable plug-in devices. It was simply easier to increase capacity and wire sizes to accommodate the higher amperage loads created by lower voltage than to increase the voltage design of hundreds, if not thousands, of small devices to match a higher system voltage.

Another issue that certainly affected the decision was the ability to reverse motors and control their speed. That was difficult to do with AC motors and was generally accomplished in the early 20th century with multiple winding motors that were complicated and very expensive. That's where DC offers two very significant advantages that permitted the use of simple and compact motor designs. It is easy to reverse any D.C. motor by reversing polarity, done by reversing its two power wires. Speed can be controlled by increasing or decreasing resistance in its its power circuit. That is impossible to do with A.C. motors. Small motor speed can easily be changed using a rheostat, or variable resister that uses a wiper on a resistive winding. Large motor speed control was accomplished using several large resistors that were switched in and out of the circuit with contactors. You could have almost smooth, almost continuous speed control if you had enough of them. Electric steering and its huge 150hp electric motor is the largest example on board that took full advantage of that method. Other motors, like those used to train turrets and elevate guns only ran at one speed, but had to be very accurately adjusted to the correct settings using resistor banks.

Regardless of the predominance of D.C. devices on board, the need for AC current and different voltages was present in the ship's earliest years of service and it greatly increased over time. The solution was to use motor generator sets, called m-g sets, on board where a 120 vdc motor would run an ac alternator to provide ac current and the voltage needed by a single device. In the Interior Communications compartment, there are several small ones dating back to 1916-18. There are also two very large ones synchronized together to power a large number of "selsyn (self synchronizing)" circuits that among other things, were used to provide range and bearing information from fire control towers to main battery plot and firing solutions to the guns. Others were installed in the dynamo rooms that powered the 40mm gun mounts and also provided a different dc voltage to the ship's degaussing system. However, most m-g sets were scattered throughout the ship, close to the devices that needed them. That way, they were able to avoid long wiring runs to reach the loads or changes to the overall system. They could tap into the existing 120 volt ship's system to get their power. That wasn't an easy task since it required careful engineering and design to prevent overloads or imbalances, but it was do-able.

One of the larger issues was to provide the additional power as large, new ac powered devices were added that included more radio and radar equipment, and 1.1" then 40mm anti aircraft weapons. To accommodate that, system capacity was increased 33% by replacing the four original 300kw 120v.d.c. turbo generators with four 400kw Westinghouse units. They also picked up significant capacity by replacing the big electric ovens and ranges in the crew galley with oil fired units.

So, there were significant compromises and shortcomings that were inherent to the 120 volt D.C. system, but it answered a number of almost unsolvable problems in 1910-11 when the ship was designed.

The resistor bank and contactors that controlled speed and direction for the 150hp electric steering motor.

Here are the two largest motor-generator sets on the ship. They are located in Interior Communications and provided power to the gunnery systems that provided all of the range and bearing information from the fire control towers, and firing solutions to the gun turrets.

Hidden in very tight compartments beneath the turrets are the electrical platforms that contained all of the electrical panels and equipment that ran the turrets. The black boxes on the right side are resistor banks that controlled motor speed on the shell rammers.

Here is one of the original 1912 controllers used on the 120 volt d.c. air compressors used to supply air charges that fired the torpedoes. The compressors were repurposed in 1925, when the torpedo tubes were removed, to serve the gas ejector systems on the 14" and 5" guns, but the old controllers remained. They were crude and simple, but they did the job well and were easily serviced.

how does shadow control his boots.

he certainly does not have additional joints attached to his feet (no extra fingers on feet) to press the buttons and turn the handles inside his boots. maybe it is the case, and that is why he never puts his boots off, but that sounds horrible. besides, if that was the case, if shadow was unconscious but someone was falling with with him, they can put their hands into his boots and turn the knobs to fly.

if he flicking foot is enough to activate his boots then he won't be able to tiptoe at all. if a specific sequence of toes' movements control his boots then that's gonna cause so much trouble when his toes itch.

if it's controlled with audio, then it makes shadow capable of making sound out of hearing range. in main universe that will essentially disable rouge to so many extents so this cannot be case.

if it's controlled with telepathic waves then shadow hovering will constantly drive silver crazy, or at least mildly annoyed. none of that happened; in fact it's the other way, as in silver annoying shadow by existence for a while.

maybe his red stripes on ends of his arms and legs are covers for underlying conductors, and when peeled, it would expose conductive terminals capable of supplying power and signals. it can be done with 2 terminals (vcc/gnd) but that would require so much caring to control the output. to delegate the details in control, it should have at least 2 more terminals (tx/rx). the gold rings are actually handles for rotational variable resistor. putting them off after rotating is purely for dramatic effects. he gotta act cool after all.

maybe the terminal layouts make him easily compatible with eggman robots. no need to fight them hard; just find their debug terminal, put his boots off, and step into it. boom, the eggman robot is now essentially an exosuit for shadow.

The Universal Serial Bus is often not universal...

So there is this problem you often run into when doing development. You come up with a solution. You research the solution, and find only tiny amounts of people talking about it, and/or they seem to say many different things and disagree. Most of the time, that is for 2 reasons 1: it is a very novel solution, so no one have tried it much, and everyone who have, has made very custom versions of it. 2: There are variables that makes it impossible to do it in one single way. I needed a rechargeable battery system to power my robot. These can get... VERY complicated, and pre-made solutions can quickly be expensive and you might end up with batteries catching fire, or destroying the batteries so they can never be used again. You need protections on them, but which kind depends on a bunch of things. I know electronics, but I am mainly a software guy, and I know when I do not know enough about electronics to do it myself. This being such a case. So, I came up with the idea to use powerbanks. One for each steppermotor, and one for the microcontroller(so the noise fromt he motors could not cause issues).If I use ones that can output enough amperage, they should just work and they are cheap. They are meant to be used by normal costumers, so have all the protection needed, and are quite idiot-proof(Which is a very handy thing when you are an idiot, like me) so should be easy to use. But I could not find much info about doing this... and I did not realize I was looking at reason 2. Basically, BECAUSE powerbanks are idiotproof, they do not want to discharge themselves unless there is a real device at the end of the USB cable. So if they cannot detect one, they turn off after about a second. How do they determine if there is a real device? Depends on the power bank.... No really, there is NO standard way to do it, as far as I can tell. And it does not depend on the power bank MODEL. I have 2 identical power banks, bought at the same time, and they do NOT behave the same. Which means that when I connected the powerbanks to supply my system, they (SOMETIMES) did not supply anything. Some check how much current is being drawn, which can be faked with a resistor wasting some power. 500mA was being quoted a lot, but that is more of a "That is probably enough to get it going". Others check for impedance(Basically, also resistance, but from frequency dependent sources). Those can be "faked" by having a coil or a device that acts like one to the faking resistor. I wanted a tiny 5 volt fan to cool the stepper motor drivers anyway, so I had one power bank also power that. That ensured that it actually stayed on (But if I used the other, (identical!) power bank it just turned off anyway). The other one could be connected up directly. If I used the powerbanks lower amperage socket. If I used the high amperage one, it just turned off. So now it works... I have 2 powerbanks for the motors, each with painters tape marking which powerbank and socket to use for what. Took me a week longer than I had hoped to figure all this out and do all the experiments. Sometimes, things that should be simple are just headaches.

Otis Frank Boykin (August 29, 1920 – March 26, 1982) was an inventor and engineer.

He patented as many as 27 electronic devices. He is known for inventing electronic control devices for guided missiles, IBM computers, and the pacemaker. One of his early inventions was an imped wire resistor, which had reduced inductance and reactance, due to the physical arrangement of the wire. Other notable inventions include a variable resistor used in guided missiles. His most famous invention was a control unit for the artificial cardiac pacemaker. The device uses electrical impulses to maintain a regular heartbeat. Among his other inventions is a burglar-proof cash register.

He attended Fisk University on a scholarship and worked as a laboratory assistant at the university’s nearby aerospace laboratory. He moved to Chicago, where he found work as a clerk at Electro Manufacturing Company. He was hired as a laboratory assistant for the Majestic Radio and Television Corporation; at that company, he rose to become the foreman of their factory. He was working for the P.J. Nilsen Research Labs. He studied at the Illinois Institute of Technology, left for an employment opportunity, and did not return to finish his degree. One of his mentors was Dr. Denton Deere, an engineer, and inventor with his laboratory. Another mentor was Dr. Hal F. Fruth, with whom he collaborated on several experiments, including a more effective way to test automatic pilot control units in airplanes. The two men went into business, opening an electronics research lab in the late 1940s. He and Fruth worked together at the Monson Manufacturing Corporation; he was the company’s chief engineer. He was a senior project engineer at the Chicago Telephone Supply Corporation, known as CTS Labs. It was here that he did much of his pacemaker research. He sued CTS for $5 million, asserting that his former employer had obtained a patent and tried to take credit for the device that he developed. After the suit was dismissed, and his career at CTS had ended, he opened his consulting and research company, with offices in both the US and Paris. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Understanding the Role of Resistors and Semiconductors in Electronics

Electronic Components

In the realm of electronics, resistor and semiconductors are fundamental components that play crucial roles in the functioning of circuits. Whether you’re dealing with simple circuits or complex electronic systems, understanding these components is essential for anyone interested in electronics.

What is a Resistor?

A resistor is a passive electronic component that limits or regulates the flow of electric current in a circuit. Its primary function is to resist the current, hence the name "resistor." Resistors are used to control voltage levels, divide voltages, and limit the current that flows through a circuit, protecting other components from potential damage.

Types of Resistors

Resistors come in various types, each designed for specific applications:

Fixed Resistors: These have a set resistance value that doesn’t change.

Variable Resistors: Also known as potentiometers, these resistors can be adjusted to vary their resistance.

Thermistors: These are temperature-sensitive resistors, whose resistance changes with temperature.

Introduction to Semiconductors

Semiconductors are materials with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. They are the backbone of modern electronics, forming the basis for a wide range of devices, including diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits.

Properties of Semiconductors

Semiconductors, such as silicon and germanium, have unique properties that allow them to control electrical current in ways that are essential for modern electronics. Their conductivity can be altered by introducing impurities, a process known as doping, which increases their ability to conduct electricity.

The Relationship Between Resistors and Semiconductors

In electronic circuits, resistors and semiconductor often work together to achieve desired outcomes. For example, in a transistor—a semiconductor device—a resistor is often used to control the current flowing into the base of the transistor. This interaction allows the transistor to function effectively as an amplifier or a switch.

Resistors are also used in semiconductor circuits to stabilize voltage levels, ensuring that the semiconductors operate within their optimal range. Without resistors, semiconductors might not perform as intended, leading to circuit failures.

Practical Applications of Resistors and Semiconductors

Resistors and semiconductors are found in countless applications, from simple household devices to advanced computing systems. Resistors are used in power supplies, LED circuits, and as part of voltage dividers. Semiconductors, on the other hand, are the heart of microprocessors, memory chips, and sensors.

The combination of resistors and semiconductors allows engineers to design circuits that are both efficient and reliable, making them indispensable in the world of electronics.

 

Understanding resistors and semiconductors is crucial for anyone interested in electronics. These components work hand in hand to regulate and control the flow of electricity in circuits, making them foundational to modern technology.
