The Invention of the Transistor and the Birth of the Information Age

by Michael Riordan, Lillian Hoddeson ...

"Without the invention of the transistor, I'm quite sure that the PC would not exist as we know it today."—Bill GatesOn December 16, 1947, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, physicists at Bell Laboratories, jabbed two electrodes into a sliver of germanium. The power flowing from the germanium far exceeded what went in; in that moment the transistor was invented and the Information Age was born. No ... Read more

數位邏輯閘如何用電晶體實現

by 李家同、侯冠維 ...

專門為資訊系學生寫的電晶體類比電路。電腦的最低層都是由電晶體和其他元件所構成，身為資訊系學生，一定要了解的知識！大家都知道電腦內部的線路都是所謂的數位電路，也就是說，電路的元件是一些AND gate、OR gate等等，但是如果打開任何一個晶片，裡面的元件卻是電晶體、電阻、電容等等。換言之，任何一個數位電路都要被轉換成一個由電晶體、電阻、電容等元件的電路，這種電路就是類比電路。很多同學都對類比電路感到害怕，資訊系同學更是如此，因為他們不太熟悉電晶體。雖然類比電路不容易學，但是由數位電路對應的類比電路卻是很容易理解的，因此我們決定寫下這本書，使很多資訊系同學能夠對類比電路多一些了解。在這本書中，我們將很多專有名詞保持英文版，道理很簡單，同學們應該盡量多懂英文，在職場中，科技名詞仍是用英文的。這本書是為了資訊系的學生寫的，的確資訊系的學生不可能搞懂類比電路，但是讀了這本書 ...
