200

A thin board made of various materials with conductive pathways etched or printed onto the board.

What is a printed circuit board or PCB

200

Building blocks for creating digital electronic circuits. Performs a logical operation on one or more binary inputs and produces a single binary output. 

What are logic gates

300

When an electronic device becomes unusable, often from a failed software or firmware update. If an update error causes system-level damage, the device may not start up or function at all. 

What is Bricking

300

MOSFET is short for

300

Can create any logical Boolean expression using only one of these universal gates

What is a NAND gate or NOR gate

400

Stores recently used information so that it can be quickly accessed at a later time. Computers incorporate several different types in order to run more efficiently, thereby improving performance

What is Cache(pronounced "cash")

400

A device that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It is a passive electronic component with two terminals separated by an insulator

What is a capacitor

400

When a device is not using the same clock. The timing operation is independent of the clock signal.

What is asynchronous
