Question 1: Write down the differences between vacuum tube & transistor. Write some
examples of semiconductor materials.

Transistor: A transistor is a device that conducts a variable amount of electricity through it,
depending on how much electricity is input to it. In other words, it is a digital switch.
However, unlike the vacuum tube, it is solid state.

Compared to the vacuum tube, transistors were much smaller, faster and cheaper to
manufacture. They were also far more reliable and used much less power.

Vacuum tube:The vacuum tube is an electron tube from which all or most of the gas has been
removed, permitting electrons to move with no or low interaction with any remaining gas
molecules.
Examples:1、Vacuum tube:gallium 2 Transistor:germanium 、

Question 2: What are the different types of memory devices? Write the differences between
RAM & ROM.
RAM stands for random-access memory. RAM contains bytes of information and the
microprocessor can read or write to those bytes depending on whether the RD or WR line is
signaled.

ROM stands for read-only memory. A ROM chip is programmed with a permanent collection
of pre-set bytes.
The address bus tells the ROM chip which byte to get and place on the data bus.
When the RD line changes state, the ROM chip presents the selected byte onto the data bus.

Question 3: Write down the full form: CAD, EDA, VHDL, PLA, FPGA, MIPS, ALU
CAD:Computer Aided Design
EDA:Electronic Design Automatic
VHDL: VHSIC Hardware Description Language
PLA:Programmable Logic Array
