Thermionic valves which were once used in computers‚ radios‚ and TVs were replaced by transistors. Compared to thermionic valves transistors: ~Had much smaller sizes (miniaturization) ~Much cheaper and more reliable ~Used less power When transistors were first developed they were about 0.5 cm3 in volume It was found that transistors could also be miniaturized by using silicon doped with arsenic/gallium. Several million transistors could now be placed on area of 1cm3. This had enormous consequences

APPLICATION NOTE 1002 ISO LINK Isolink Optocouplers vs. Pulse Transformers In isolation applications where one needs to pass signals in presence of transient or continuous high voltages‚ reject extreme noise‚ and break ground loops‚ optical (optocouplers) and magnetic (pulse transformers) coupling isolation are often used. However pulse transformers are much more difficult to design with relative to optocouplers. When dealing with pulse transformers‚ the load becomes more critical than

The story of IBM in India is surrounded by several myths and folklore‚ particularly relating to its infamous exit in 1978. George Fernandes‚ who was industry minister in the Janata government‚ is often credited for throwing out IBM over foreign exchange rules‚ but the trouble for IBM had started way back in 1967. It had a good run of the Indian market for two decades after its entry into India in 1951‚ facilitated by Jawaharlal Nehru himself. See: IBM’s 100-year journey‚ from clocks‚ scales
