What are these symbols? Would someone please tell me how these work?

I believe they are from top left to bottom right: Transistors NPN and PNP, mosfet transistors N channel and P channel, voltage controlled voltage source, voltage controlled current source and current controlled voltage source. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but with the name you can google them now ;-)

Npn and pnp transistors n and p channel mosfets and voltage sources

Top left NPN transistor, you use it to make a signal such as voice louder or amplified, the next one to the right, is a PNP and also is used as an amplifier, transistors are also used as switches. The next one is a n-mos transistor , all transistors are used as amplifiers or for switching applications, the top rightmost is a p-mos transistor. middle left is a voltage controlled voltage source, which means is like a battery that you can control the voltage output with a signal voltage input. Middle right, is a voltage controlled current source, as the name implies you control the current with a voltage signal input. Bottom is a current controlled voltage source, the name tells you what it does. When you hover the pointer over the symbol it shows you what the component is, so use that information and search the web to find out what thing are and what they are used for. Have fun!

Here in EC there are so many examples of usage of the components you are asking about, start studying the basic circuits and build on that.

redvalor1, I don't get it, you have made several semi-advanced circuits and you don't know what a transistor is????????????

Its hard to resume how these components works

ferlop, I understand my questions are basic, I'm just trying to figure out how these parts work within the program...it takes me a long time to experiment until I get the outputs I want.

OK, I like your perseverance and I hope that we have increased your curiosity, keep working with electronics, but also buy gates and other components they are pretty cheap, and build the real things, put your creations into actual devices.

Have you checked the examples within EC?

I have checked the examples and I get a basic understanding but no real knowledge to make advanced circuit. I will continue to discover online.

My friend this doesn't happen over night. You must really be into it to have a profound understanding of circuits and how they work. Let me answer your questions. The first components are transistors. Transistors are 3 layer semiconductor devices a PNP (-,+,-) junction or NPN (+,-,+) junction. They have 3 terminals (Emitter Base Collector). They act as either amplifying devices of as a switch. Other than that keep trying. Find some new circuits try them out, see how they work etc. And have patience

Thanks. My current project is trying to use one pointiometer to control logic gates as the wiper is moved up and down. Using the logical true voltage I want to control both input as TT, TF, FT, and FF as voltage is increased or decreased.

Check out "Pot to logic", I just uploaded. Is this what you were trying to do?

New circuit Logic Gates 5 does what I set out to do.
