Digital Switches
Digital switches are electronic devices that control the flow of electrical signals in a circuit. Unlike traditional mechanical switches, which physically open or close a circuit, digital switches use semiconductor technology to manage signals. They can turn on or off rapidly, making them essential in various applications, including computers and telecommunications.
These switches are often found in microcontrollers and digital circuits, where they help process information by controlling the flow of data. Digital switches can be categorized into different types, such as transistors and logic gates, each serving specific functions in electronic systems.
