An equivalent high-level circuit uses logic gates, each represented by a different shape (standardized by IEEE/ANSI 91–1984). [30] A low-level representation uses an equivalent circuit of electronic switches (usually transistors). Most digital systems divide into combinational and sequential systems. The output of a combinational system ...
An electronic component is any basic discrete electronic device or physical entity part of an electronic system used to affect electrons or their associated fields. Electronic components are mostly industrial products , available in a singular form and are not to be confused with electrical elements , which are conceptual abstractions ...
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 vary from country to country, or engineering ...
A large data-center-scale UPS being installed by electricians. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or uninterruptible power source is a type of continual power system that provides automated backup electric power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails.

Three photoresistors with scale in mm Large CdS photocell from a street light. A photoresistor is less light-sensitive than a photodiode or a phototransistor.The latter two components are true semiconductor devices, while a photoresistor is a passive component that does not have a PN-junction.
Manufacturer's life-expectancy charts relate current, severity, and number of transients to make failure predictions based on the total energy dissipated over the life of the part. In consumer electronics, particularly surge protectors, the MOV varistor size employed is small enough that eventually failure is expected. [15]
The MOSFET is also capable of handling higher power than the JFET. [33] The MOSFET was the first truly compact transistor that could be miniaturised and mass-produced for a wide range of uses. [6] The MOSFET thus became the most common type of transistor in computers, electronics, [34] and communications technology (such as smartphones). [35]
