transistorový

Transistorový refers to something that uses transistors. A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is one of the fundamental building blocks of modern electronic devices. Transistors are made from semiconductor materials, typically silicon, and have at least three terminals. By applying a small voltage or current to one terminal, a much larger current can be controlled flowing through the other two. This amplification or switching capability makes them essential for a vast array of electronic circuits.

The invention of the transistor in 1947 at Bell Labs was a groundbreaking event, leading to the miniaturization and revolutionization of electronics. Before transistors, vacuum tubes served similar functions but were much larger, more fragile, and consumed significantly more power. The development of integrated circuits, which contain millions or billions of transistors on a single chip, further accelerated the progress of technology.

Electronic devices described as transistorový encompass a wide range, including radios, televisions, computers, smartphones, and almost any modern gadget that processes or transmits information electronically. The reliability, efficiency, and small size of transistors have made them indispensable components in the digital age.
