RC Time Constant Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to show how a capacitor charges and discharges exponentially. It is also to determine the time constant of an RC circuit. Equipment: 2 resistors, 2 capacitors, power amplifier, Digital multmeter, interface box, computer Theory: A capacitor charges exponentially, that is that initially charge accumulates easily on the plates but then it becomes increasingly difficult to keep adding charge to the capacitor. This is because more

Raymond Moenich III IC IC stands for Integrated Circuits. An IC is a semiconductor circuit that has more than one component on the same substrate material. Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby are both credited with the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 and 1959. ICs are also called chips and are used for a variety of applications, including audio and video equipment, microprocessors, and automobiles. ICs are classified by the number of electronic components they contain. SSI stands for small-scale

the beginning of the "Second Generation" of computers in 1947. Unfortunately, the 2nd Generation did not advance as much as most people hoped, but eventually, the "Third Generation" was brought about by the invention of integrated circuits in 1958. Integrated circuits replaced transistors, and many computer languages came out in this time. Many more computer companies were born during this time, and eventually this led to personal computers for everyday use. Microprocessors introduced the beginning

Company Overview Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore were among the eight founders of Fairfield Semiconductor in the late 1950’s. While at Fairchild Moore & Noyce decided to branch out on their own and start a company developing large scale integrated circuits. Noyce wrote a one page business plan that attracted an investor named Art Rock, who was also at Fairchild. Rock was able to sell their vision to other investors and raised 2.5 million dollars in only two days. Together with this money they started
