Components

For the synthesis of electronic circuits electronic components and electronic instruments are used. Below is a list of the most important instruments and components in electronics, followed by their most common use is as follows:

• Speaker: sound reproduction.
• Cable: conduction of electricity.
• Switch: reroute an input to an output chosen between two or more.
• Switch: open or closed circuit manually.
• Battery: power generator.
• Transducer: transformation of a physical quantity into an electrical.
• Display: shows data or images.

(Examples) Analog Devices

• Operational amplifier: amplification, control and conversion of signal switching.
• Capacitor: energy storage, filtering, impedance adaptation.
• Diode: rectification signal, regulation, voltage multiplier.
• Zener diode: regulation of tension.
• Inductor: impedance matching.
• Potentiometer: variation in electrical current or voltage.
• Relay: opening or closing of circuits using control signals.
• Resistor or resistance: current or voltage division, current limiting.
• Transistor: amplification, switching.

Digital devices

• Bistable: sequential control systems.
• Memory: digital data storage.
• Microcontroller: digital control systems.
• Gate: combinational control systems.

Power devices

• DIAC: power control.
• Fuse: protection against over-currents.
• Thyristor: semiconductor switch for power control.
• Transformer: raise or lower voltage, current, and apparent impedance.
• Silicon controlled rectifier (SCR).
• Triac: power control.
• Varistor: protection against over voltage.
