Mechatronics

1. IS

   • natural stage in the evolutionary process of modern engineering design the development of the computer and then the micro computer embedded computers software
     • also
       • from mechanism unlit Ronix from electronics in other words technology is and developed products will be incorporating electronics more and more into mechanisms intimately and organically and making it impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins another definition was presented by Hashima

2. also

   • It is a discipline that integrates engineering such as mechanics, electronics and computer science..

3. her porpuse

   • It arises from the synergistic combination of different branches of Engineering, among which the following stand out: precision mechanics, electronics, computer science and control systems. Its main purpose is the analysis and design of products and automated manufacturing processes.

4. Main components

   • Integrated circuits
     • They are small chips made of semiconductor materials. They allow a series of electronic circuits to be installed on them, using techniques such as photolithography, protected with a plastic or ceramic coating. It is probably the most important electronic component in recent times, making a decisive contribution to the increasingly miniaturized production of computers, televisions, etc.
   • Microcontrollers
     • They are a type of programmable integrated circuits that can execute orders previously recorded in their memory. They include the three main operating units of any computer: Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, and input / output peripherals. Its use is common in multiple systems of our daily life, such as toys, computers, electrical appliances, or even the vehicle's starting system.
   • LEDs
     • Passive electronic element, the led is a type of diode with the property of emitting light when it receives energy. It is made up of an encapsulation and two terminals, anode and cathode. They are used primarily as performance or lighting indicators. With the union of several displays or screens can be formed.
   • Resistors
     • The mission of the resistors is to hinder the normal passage of electric current. Potentiometers are special types of resistance that offer adjustable values ​​and serve, for example, to increase or decrease the volume.
   • Fotorresistencias
     • Also known as LDR, in these components the resistance offered depends on a light source. If light is incident, the resistance is lower and very high in the dark, based on a photoelectric effect. They are used for auto-on lights or light-controlled relays.
   • Capacitors / capacitors
     • They are passive devices that store electrical energy received during a charging period, to transfer it later during discharge.
   • Batteries / batteries
     • They are active components that convert chemical reactions into electricity, being rechargeable or disposable once their energy is released, with which they feed most modern circuits.
   • Transistores
     • They are semiconductor devices of great importance within electronics, which function mainly as a signal amplifier, oscillator, switch, rectifier or electronic switch. If they are phototransistors, they are light-sensitive components.
