Hardware Basics
Electricity
 Electricity is the flow of electrons
 Atoms contain
 In the nucleus (center)
 Protons with a positive charge
 Neutrons with no charge (no consequence here)
 Orbiting around the nucleus
 Electrons with a negative charge

Charged Atoms
 Atoms with more protons that electrons
 Positively charged
 Try to acquire additional electrons to get back in balance
 Atoms with more electrons than protons
 Negatively charged
 Want to give up electrons to get back in balance
 If you set up an imbalance, electrons will try to
jump (flow) between atoms to correct this
 This flow is electricity
Conductors and Insulators
 Materials that allow electrons to flow easily are
conductors
 Most metals are good conductors
 Materials that dont allow electrons to flow easily
are insulators
 E.g., plastic, rubber, glass
 Some materials can be influenced to change from
conducting to insulating (a very useful property)
Semiconductors
Basic Law of Charges
 Like charges repel each other
 Opposite charges attract each other
 Exert a force
 Can do work: e.g., move something
+ -
+ + - -
Charge
 Charge is measured in Coulombs ( C )
 (A unit we wont use much)
 Measure of how many more protons than
electrons in a substance
 1 Coulomb = 2.15 x 1018 excess protons
2.15 x 1018
extra electrons
=
-1 C
Electromotive Force
(Voltage)
 Charge has the ability to do work
 A potential to e.g. move something in one
direction or another
 Difference in potential (in charge) provides a
force: Electromotive Force (EMF): Voltage

 Hence we set up circuits
(cycles, loops) to keep this
going
Flow of Electrons
 Current is the flow of electrons
 Measured in Amperes (Amp, or A)
 1A is 1 Coulomb of charge flowing past a point
per second
Current vs. Voltage
 Water analogy
 Useful, but only goes so far
 Coulombs analogous to quantity (gallons)
 Amps analogous to flow rate (gallons / sec)
 Voltage analogous to pressure (lbs/ft2)
Resistance
 Can have a lot of flow at low pressure or a
lot of pressure but low volume
 Depends on the size of the pipe
 Resistance is analogous to the size of the
pipe
 Resistance is the opposition to current flow
 Measured in Ohms ( 立 )
Ohms Law
 Relates current, voltage, and resistance
 Current normally denoted by variable I
 Voltage normally denoted by variable V
 Resistance normally denoted by variable R
V = I * R
Ohms Law
 V = IR
 R = V / I
 I = V / R V
I R
Ohms Law
 In the electronics we will do, we tend to
(try to) hold the voltage constant (or zero)
 Typically 5v
 starting to use 3.3v, but 5v still most common
 I = V / R I = 5 / R
 Raise the resistance, current drops
 Lower the resistance, current rises
Ohms Law
 I = V / R I = 5 / R
 Raise the resistance, current drops
 Lower the resistance, current rises
 What happens if we lower the resistance
towards zeros?
Ohms Law
 I = V / R I = 5 / R
 Raise the resistance, current drops
 Lower the resistance, current rises
 What happens if we lower the resistance
towards zeros?
 Current goes towards infinity
 Power = V * I (related to heat)
 Boom! (or Poof!)
Current Limiting
 Important
 This is how you (literally) fry hardware if you dont pay
attention (trust me, I know)
 Always think carefully (and check!) that the path
from 5v source
 From power supply, or from output pin of a chip
to ground (0v location) has appropriate resistance
 Not a short circuit ~0立
 Current limiting resistor at value needed to stay within
current limits of the device
Aside: Units
 Volts, Amps, Ohms
 Normally use metric system unit prefixes
mega M million 1,000,000 106
kilo k thousand 1,000 103
one 1 100
milli m thousandth 0.001 10-3
micro 亮 millionth 0.000 001 10-6
nano n billionth 10-9
pico p trillionth 10-12
Examples
5V with 10立  5/10 A = 0.5A = 500mA
 For typical chips you will use = Poof!
5V with 100立  5/100 A = 50mA
 Still Poof!
5V with 250立  5/250 A = 20mA
 OK for PIC processors, not for lots of other digital electronics
5V with 10k立  5/10000 A = 0.5mA
 Good for most digital electronics

Schematic Diagrams
AC vs. DC
 DC  Direct Current
 Current flows steadily in one direction
 Most of what we will do is DC
 AC  Alternating Current
 Current flows in one direction then another
 Wall current does this
 Alternating 60 times per sec
 60 Hz
V
V
Capacitance
 Capacitor
 Device with two conducting plates separated by
insulating material (called dielectric)
 Stores electric charge in the dielectric
 Water metaphor
 Consider a pipe with a rubber balloon blocking it
 DC current bulges out the balloon (charges the capacitor)
 But then stops flowing
 Release the pressure the charge drains back out over time
 AC current can go back and forth continuously
Capacitor blocks DC but allows AC to pass
Capacitance
 Capacitance is measured in Farads ( F )
and denoted by variable C
 Amount of charge divided by voltage across
plates
 Charge (in Coulombs) denoted by Q
 C = Q / V

Digital Electronics
 Computer circuits treat signals as digital
values
 Consider signals to only have two states: 1 or 0
 +5v is considered to be 1
 0v is considered to be 0
Digital Electronics
 But need to leave some room for
error or fluctuation
 Between VHMin and +5v considered 1
 Between 0v and VLmax considered 0
 Between VLmax and VHMin is undefined
(and unpredictable)
 Can pass through this but you dont want
to stay there long
+5v
0v

VLmax
