• The crucial component of an electronic device is a controllable valve that lets a weak signal control a much larger flow much as a faucet controls the flow of water. • At one time the controllable valve used in electronic circuits was the vacuum tube. The vacuum tube worked but it was bulky and …
VRAM is a type of Dynamic RAM(DRAM) designed specifically to store image data in order to send it to a display. VRAM acts as a frame buffer between the display and the processor. The processor fetches the video data from the main memory RAM and then writes it to the VRAM. The video data in …
1. DDR stands for “Double Data Rate”. Now before we jump to DDR, we should know few terms related to RAM in order to understand DDR.2. The basic function of RAM is to store data for a short term and transfer it to the CPU to process that data. How fast it transfers the data …
In 1975, Kodak engineer Steve Sasson created the first-ever digital camera. It was built using parts of kits and leftovers around the Kodak factory, and an early CCD image sensor from Fairchild in 1974. The camera was about the size of a breadbox and it took 23 seconds to capture a single image. It took …

5 reasons you should start using SSDs in 2020▪️MORE RELIABLE:SSDs do not consists of any moving parts, instead they use flash memory to store data.On the other hand, HDDs uses a mechanical arm to store/retrieve data.▪️FASTER ACCESS:With access speed way faster than HDDs, programs can load faster.This results in faster boot times, faster launching of …
Yes, you read it right! World’s first CPU was made by 3-year-old startup INTEL in 1971. It was designed and built as a custom chip for a CALCULATOR. The name of that CPU is INTEL 4004. The 4004 was the first RANDOM LOGIC IC to use MOS SILICON GATE TECH (SGT). FEDERICO FAGGIN, a FAIRCHILD …
