transistor
Significado: A semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals. Transistors are the fundamental building blocks of modern electronic circuits and microprocessors.
The invention of the transistor in 1947 at Bell Labs revolutionised electronics by replacing bulky, fragile vacuum tubes with small, reliable, and energy-efficient devices. Modern microprocessors contain billions of transistors on a single chip. In older British English, a 'transistor' also referred to a portable transistor radio — a sense that older speakers may still use. The word is essential vocabulary for anyone studying electronics, computing, or the history of technology.
Ejemplos
- A modern smartphone processor contains several billion transistors, each just a few nanometres across. 一款现代智能手机处理器包含数十亿个晶体管,每个仅有数纳米大小。Un procesador de teléfono inteligente moderno contiene varios miles de millones de transistores, cada uno de apenas unos nanómetros.現代のスマートフォンのプロセッサには数十億個のトランジスタが搭載されており、それぞれわずか数ナノメートルの大きさです。현대 스마트폰 프로세서에는 수십억 개의 트랜지스터가 탑재되어 있으며, 각각 불과 수 나노미터 크기입니다.
- The transistor replaced the vacuum valve in electronic equipment, making devices far smaller and more reliable. 晶体管取代了电子设备中的真空管,使设备体积大幅缩小且更加可靠。El transistor sustituyó a la válvula de vacío en los equipos electrónicos, haciendo los dispositivos mucho más pequeños y fiables.トランジスタが電子機器の真空管に取って代わり、デバイスは格段に小型化し信頼性も向上しました。트랜지스터가 전자 장비의 진공관을 대체하면서 기기는 훨씬 소형화되고 신뢰성도 크게 향상되었습니다.
- His grandfather still called the portable radio a 'transistor,' a term dating from the 1950s. 他的祖父仍然把便携式收音机叫做'晶体管',这个称呼源自1950年代。Su abuelo seguía llamando «transistor» a la radio portátil, un término que data de la década de 1950.彼の祖父は今でもポータブルラジオを「トランジスタ」と呼んでいます。1950年代に遡る呼び名です。그의 할아버지는 여전히 휴대용 라디오를 '트랜지스터'라고 불렀는데, 1950년대로 거슬러 올라가는 명칭입니다.
