1. General
Today in automobile there are essentially used application fields of electricity and electronic beginning
from switch for simple on /off of lamp to many equipments of engine management system (EMS ) ,
antilock brake system (ABS ) , transmission control system (TCS ) , airbag, instrumentation system,
body electrical system (BCM), etc. requiring microcomputer control.
Because of use of so many sophisticated electrical equipments and electronic parts, there come forth
also many electronic defects in comparison to traditional mechanical defects as for car trouble
causes. Accordingly learning the basic knowledge of electricity and electronic seems exigent subject
for automobile maintenance and service.
.
Here it is hoped to become opportunity to understand basic principle and to learn how they apply in
automobile, apart from the complicated structure or any academic theoretic.
And it is hoped to be a little help in more efficient maintenance and trouble repair..

2. Compositions and essence of electricity

Every material is composed of molecules each of which is in turn chemically composed of aggregates
of atoms.
Example: water molecule (H2O) = two hydrogen atoms (H2) + one oxygen atom (O)
M Orbit
Electron
K Orbit
Proton
Neutron Atomic
nucleus
L Orbit
Atom relationship model

As the above figure, electrons are quickly turning around nucleus in conformity with respective
orbits as the earth and planets are turning around sun .
Only a certain number of electrons can exist in each electron orbit (K: 2, L: 8, M: 18, . . . ) while
each element has its characteristic number of electrons (e . g . hydrogen 1, carbon 6, oxygen 8,
. . . ).
Generally nucleus has positive electricity (+) and electron has negative electricity (-) while these
two have mutually attractive character so that atom becomes electrically neutral (positive electricity
quantity = negative electricity quantity). Because attractive force from atomic nucleus to electrons
of outermost orbit (valence electrons) is the weakest , these electrons are easy to escape from orbit
due to external stimulus (heat , electricity, light , ...) and may move to other orbit , These electrons
got out of orbit are called free electrons which are essence of electricity. Movement of these free
electrons directly becomes electric current . Namely, it means that movement of these free
electron started signifies that electric current flows,

BASIC ELECTRONIC
3. Conductor & nonconductor

If materials are electrically classified , they may be divided into conductor which transmit electricity
well, nonconductor which do not transmit electricity and semiconductors in middle between the two
while these characteristics are determined by electronic configuration according to atomic structure of
material .
1) Conductor : where electricity flows well
Here fall most metals where free electrons may well move in the interior of material . Order of
good conductance of electricity : silver  copper  gold  aluminium  tungsten  zinc 
nickel ....
2) Nonconductor : where electricity does not flow well
It is called insulator where free electron is not easily generated e . g . ceramics, glass, rubber,
plastics, wood etc .
3) Semiconductor : which has medial characteristics between conductor and nonconductor
Here fall silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), selenium (Se) etc . which are used as raw material of
electronic part.
 As for automobile wiring, multistrand type is contained inside a clothing of cord where copper
(alloy) is mainly used as stuff material . Cord thickness is determined by electric current value,
load, continuity, temperature etc . The larger the electric current , the longer the cord and the
longer the electric current flow time , the thicker the electric cord shall be .

4. Semiconductor
4.1 What is semiconductor?
In material, there are conductors easy for electric current to flow and nonconductor difficult for
current to flow by the electronic property. Semiconductor denotes material of medial property
between conductor and insulator. Namely, here electric current is neither easy to flow as in
conductor nor difficult as in nonconductor. Semiconductor is material that has such peculiar electric
property. So semiconductor is material that has medial type character between conductor and
nonconductor.

BASIC ELECTRONIC
4.2 Semiconductor material

The specific resistance of copper used as electric conductor is 10 -6 Ωcm that is lowest and even the
specific resistance of Ni-Cr used as electric resistance wire is 10-4 Ωcm while these materials are
called conductors because they conducts electricity well . If specific resistance is more than 1010
Ωcm then little electricity is conducted there so that such material is used as insulator. Meanwhile
material in between such conductor and insulator, not belonging to conductor and nonconductor,
are called semiconductor where belong germanium and silicon used in manufacturing the diode
and transistor.

BASIC ELECTRONIC
Semiconductors play role of conductor or nonconductor according to specific condition (relationship

between voltage, electric current , temperature etc . ). The main elements that are most frequently
used are silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) while such conductor of high purity is called as intrinsic
semiconductor. Silicon and germanium respectively have four electrons on outermost orbit .
Namely in their respective crystal structures, the form becomes that each atom shares its own four
electrons with its partner atom. Because of such covalent bond, the material becomes an electric
insulator and has little electrical utilization value so that it cannot independently be used as
semiconductor. Therefore it is used as a form of impurity semiconductor by adding small
proportional quantity of other element atoms to these intrinsic atoms of valence 4.
4.3 Classification of semiconductor

Semiconductor is largely constituted of two forms.
Here are iintrinsic semiconductor that does not utterly contain impurity in material crystal and
impurity semiconductor that is added of specific impurity material into intrinsic semiconductor in
order to improve conductivity.
Generally diode and transistor belong to this impurity semiconductor.
And this impurity semiconductor is also classified into two according to role of added impurity
material .
Roles of impurity material are to increase in semiconductor the number of
- Increase free electron of semiconductor inside
- Increase hole of semiconductor inside
Therefore among impurity semiconductors, that added of impurity to increase the number of free
electron are called negative type semiconductor while that added of impurity to increase theOrbit

4.3.1 Intrinsic Semiconductor

▷ This is intrinsic semiconductor containing no impurity material at all in its crystal structure .
▷ Purity of intrinsic semiconductor has been refined about 99.999999999 % (over ten-nine) with 11
nine.
▷ For example germanium and silicon belong to this kind .
4.3.2 Impurity semiconductor

▷ This is impurity semiconductor added of specific impurity material into intrinsic semiconductor to
improve conductivity.
▷ General semiconductors of diode or transistor belong to this impurity semiconductor.
▷ Classification of impurity semiconductor
a. N type semiconductor is that added of impurity to increase number of free electron in
semiconductor.
b . P type semiconductor is that added of impurity to increase number of hole in semiconductor.
1) P Type Semiconductor
This is made by adding the material (Ga : gallium ; In : gallium ; B : boron ) having three valence
electron in intrinsic semiconductor. Though silicon has four outer layer electron, if these two kinds
of material meet each other, then silicon atom from these two kind of atoms cannot share one
electron so that electric current can flow easier while this vacancy in octet is called hole. And it is
called P (positive) type semiconductor because it assumes positive (+) electricity by electron
deficiency. When voltage is applied, electron fills the hole site so that the hole continuously moves
down, electric current is said to flow by means of hole in P type semiconductor.

2) N Type semiconductor
This is made by adding the material ( P : phosphorus ; As : arsenic ; Sb : antimony ) having five
outermost layer electron in intrinsic semiconductor. If element of valence 5 is added to bind with
silicon then one electron remains as surplus in octet so that electric conduction may be accomplished
easier by means of free activity of this remainder electron.
And it is called N (negative) type semiconductor because it assumes negative (-) electricity.
Electric current flows by means of electron in N type semiconductor (carrier : electron ) .

3) P-N Junction
If P type semiconductor and N type semiconductor are chemically bonded with each other, there is
made portion where carrier does not exist as hole and free electron are bonded together at narrow
part of junction surface. This junction surface is called depletion layer while semiconductor bonded
thus is called PN junction semiconductor or diode. Accordingly there exists electric charge of

5 Diode (Diode for rectifier circuit)

5.1 Diode general
Diode is semiconductor part substance flowing the electric current always in only one direction . As to
say, semiconductor is called as such because it has intrinsically this kind of property. Although
transistor is also a kind of semiconductor, diode specifically purports thus that electric current shall
flow always in only one direction . Silicon is most frequently used as semiconductor material whereas
besides there are used also germanium and selenium for this purpose

5.2 Diode usages and symbol representation

Main function of diode is to rectify electric current to flow it always in only one direction. But it is
also used in many other functions so that main functions may be summarized as follows : -
- Usage as electric current rectifier to change the alternating current to the direct current in
electric supply facilities
- Use as detector to take out signal from radio frequency
- Usage in switching to control electric current ON/OFF
- Prevention of backward current flow

§ Forward diode for forward bias
§ Forward diode for backward bias
5.2.1 Forward diode for forward bias

Diode has form to have connected terminals on both sides of P-N junction semiconductor to have
characteristics to flow electric current always in only one direction .
In forward direction as in figure if positive (+) voltage is applied at P type semiconductor and
negative (-) voltage is applied at N type semiconductor, hole and electron repulse to electric source
so that electric potential barrier is lowered and also depletion layer is narrowed. Consequently hole
and electron may move to each other across junction surface. Accordingly electric current flows by
movement of hole and electron .

5.2.2 Backward diode for reverse bias

This time let us in reverse direction apply negative (-) voltage at P type semiconductor and positive (+)
voltage at N type semiconductor. Then hole of P type semiconductor is attracted to negative (-) side
of electric supply while electron of N type semiconductor is attracted to positive (+) side of electric
supply. Consequently electric potential barrier is heightened and accordingly depletion layer is also
widened so that electron movement cannot arise between the two kinds of semiconductor.

5.4 Characteristic of diode

It can be seen that , when forward voltage is gradually increased from 0 V, electric current abruptly
flows if a certain voltage is reached. Namely electric current only becomes to flow if voltage is
applied over about 0.6~0.7 V (Ge diode: 0.3~0.4 V). And if backward voltage is applied, electric
current does not flow up to some voltage but abruptly flows at voltage over some definite value.
Voltage at this instant is called breakdown voltage.
Namely diode is broken down if it is connected in reverse direction and voltage above breakdown
voltage is applied.

5.5 Rectification operating of diode

An alternating current signal may be rectified to a direct current by using characteristic of electric
current in diode to flow always in only one direction. Rectifier circuit may largely be classified into
half wave rectifier circuit and full wave rectifier circuit .
5.5. 1 Half -wave rectifier circuit

When applying an alternating current to the circuit , at moment when positive (+) side signal comes
in, electric current flows in forward direction, but at moment when negative (-) side signal comes in,
electric current does not flow because it becomes the reverse direction. This kind of circuit to flow
electric current for only one side is called half wave rectifier circuit .

Next for other device also when applying an alternating current to the circuit , electric current flows
through D1 and D4 during moment of positive (+) half cycle period of alternating current signal while
the current flows through D2 and D3 during moment of negative (-) half period. This kind of circuit to
flow electric current for both of half periods is called full wave rectifier circuit . ( *Although particularly
here is represented a full wave rectifier using a bridge, there are also full wave rectifier circuit using

6. Special type of semiconductor diode

Diodes are used for a number of purposes.
Voltage rectification, voltage regulation, and even light production are some of their various uses.

BASIC ELECTRONIC
Following is a brief description of some diode type you might encounter.
6.1 Zener diode

1) Zener diode symbol
2) Zener diode characteristic

When the diode is forward biased, it acts like reverse diode or a closed switch.
However, the zener diode has unique reverse bias qualities that make differ from the typical diode.
The zener diode goes in to reverse bias at various voltages. The amount of voltage required for
reverse bias varies according to the zener diode selected.
Some typical reverse bias voltages are 2.4V, 5.1V, 6.0V, 9.1V, 12.0V, ect.
At this point, when the applied voltage increased, the forward current increase.
This small reverse current flows until the diode reaches the zener breakdown point, V2 in figure.
At zener breakdown point, the zener diode is able to maintain a fairy constant voltage as the
current varies over a certain range.
Because of this attribute, the diode provides excellent voltage regulation.

- Zener diode breakdown voltage of circuit below is 12 V.
- Supply voltage to controller through C1 in circuit diagram below shall never exceed 12 V.
- If supply voltage exceeds 12 V then it is earthed through zener diode.
So, because current is extinguished through earth for voltage above 12 Volts any voltage above

6.2 Photo diode

1) Photo diode symbol
BASIC ELECTRONIC
2) Photo diode characteristic

Electric current flows if lighted on PN junction surface under condition where certain voltage is
applied in backward direction. And if light irradiation dose is changed, electric current changes in
proportion to the light quantity. Electric potential barrier is made on PN junction surface and
becomes greater if reverse voltage is applied so as to become a complete insulator. If light is
shed on PN junction surface under this condition, change arises on the junction surface.
Respectively electron and hole are activated by external light energy along with positive (+) ion in
N side area and negative (-) ion in P side area . Hole and free electron separated from respective
ions move along so that electric current gets to flow. Thus diode is used in light → electricity
transformation circuit .
Whence if voltage is maintained constant , electric current flowing in circuit gets proportional to the
light quantity received by element .
3) Example of circuit that use photo diode

- Photo diode has been connected in backward direction in circuit below.
- If light irradiates on photo diode, then because battery voltage is supplied, the lamp turns on .
- It is much used as a switching circuit .

BASIC ELECTRONIC
2) Light emitting diode characteristic

This diode is that which illuminates as electric current flows by applying forward voltage at PN
junction diode. Its characteristics are as follows :
- It has longer life and electric power consumption is smaller in comparison to incandescent
electric lamp.
- Response is speedy.
- It illuminates even with low voltage of 2 ~3 V.
- Power consumption is small (about 0.05 W ) ,
- Response of turning on and off is quick (by unit of millionth second).
- As for illumination color, there are red, green, yellow etc. according to semiconductor material.
3) Example of circuit that use zener diode

7.2 Basic operation of transistor

7.2.1 Basic operation of NPN type transistor
This type has been connected in opposite case to PNP type; but in this NPN type, as shown in
figure below, a few holes are supplied from positive pole of electric source so that these make a
small portion current of base current IB. And electrons that come from emitter as not having been
able to join with base holes move to collector side owing to V CB of collector side so that these make
collector current IC. Ordinarily 95~98 % among emitter current I E becomes IC but remainder 2 ~5 %
becomes IB.

7.2.2 Basic operation of PNP type transistor

If forward voltage VBE is applied between emitter and base, electric potential barrier in between PN
junction surface becomes low. And at P type side of emitter side, many holes are being generated
because impurity material concentration has been heightened, And as for base N side, because this is
very thin so that impurity material concentration becomes lower, there are only few electrons.
Accordingly holes in emitter cross over the electric potential barrier and enter the base side by
diffusion so as to vanish by bonding with a part of base electrons there. But because these few
electrons are continuously supplied by negative “-“ pole of electric source, these make the small base
current IB.
If backward voltage VC B is applied between base and collector, electric potential barrier is heightened
at PN junction surface so that electric current does not flow between base and collector.
Holes that could not join with base electrons but come from emitter now move to collector side owing
to VCB of collector side. These make collector current I C . Emitter holes are gradually supplied from

BASIC ELECTRONIC
positive pole so that these make emitter current Ic. Accordingly most IE becomes IC but very little
portion becomes base current IB.
7.2.3 Amplification function of transistor

As we have already discussed above in `Basic Operation', most electron (no less than 95 %) move to
collector but only a few electrons (no more than 5 %) join with base hole. So as electron current and
electric current direction are ordinarily defined oppositely while emitter current I E is divided into
collector current I C and base current I B , the following equation holds :
IE = IB + IC I E  I B  I C
Like this, big collector current may be deduced from small base current so as to be called electric
current amplification while relationship (ratio) between I B and I C are called electric current
amplification factor (h F E ).
For calculation example, if I B is 1 mA and I C is 100 mA then h F E is 100. Namely it means

transistor that can amplify input signal by hundred times. ( * Electric current amplification rate of
transistor varies according to usage, sort etc . )

And generally amplification means that of alternating current component , which we shall deliberate in
the following example :
In circuit shown in figure here, if AC signal is applied between base and emitter, base current I B
flows only when it is in forward direction (same as in diode). Whence collector current I C also
appears as output while being amplified only of half wave. Namely transistor does not operate during
negative (-) half cycle because here it is in backward direction between base and emitter.
Here let us apply DC between base and emitter. If AC is applied onto DC, AC component is added
upon DC so as to appear like what is shown in the following figure.
Voltage at this time is called bias voltage. Now for the first time we can see completely amplified
output waveform. Also we may obtain the amplified AC waveform only if we remove DC component by
connecting a condenser at output terminal.

BASIC ELECTRONIC
To avoid inconvenience of using two electric supplies due to bias voltage as in the depicted circuit ,
actual circuits use various forms adequate to purpose of each circuit by such as an electric current
feedback bias, a fixed bias using a resistance, condenser etc. on the supply electricity source
connected to the output terminal..
* For reference to say, there is limit area where collector current does not increase any more even
though transistor base current continues to increase so as to be called the saturation region.
Accordingly transistor 's amplification action is accomplished only in specific area where collector
current increases in accordance with base current increase so as to be called the active area .
So far we have learned electric current amplification but now let us think case of voltage amplification .
According to the above explanation, we learned that collector varies proportionately with base
current . Let us think this as a variable resistor to control electric current . Then we can think the
following equivalent circuit .

Under condition as above, output voltage to the base input waveform shows up reversely as may be
seen in figure. It is explained as total voltage E = voltage drop between collector and emitter (Eo) +
voltage drop due to resistance R (Ic × R). Namely, if electric current Ic increases, voltage drop due
to resistance R also increases so that the output voltage Eo decreases. (Output voltage Eo = E – (Ic
× R))
Now let us learn base earth and collector earth methods along with transistor 's switching action .

BASIC ELECTRONIC
If there is no electric potential difference between emitter and base, emitter current does not flow as
well as their flows no electric current at collector where voltage is applied in backward direction
through resistance. If forward voltage is applied between emitter and base as in circuit shown by
figure, collector current may also flow through resistance.
In this case, because sum of base current and collector current is equal to emitter current , ratio of
collector current to emitter current is below 1 so that electric current is not amplified.
In case of voltage amplification, if we suppose for example that 10mA flows in emitter, then some
1mA and 9mA flows in base and collector respectively so that voltage drop occurs, through
resistance, in collector that is the output .
Accordingly it becomes 9mA × resistance [kΩ] = output voltage so there is accomplished voltage
amplification to the input signal .
Collector earth circuit

Method of collector earth is type of circuit as shown in figure to take collector as eart h , send input
signal to base and send output from emitter.
In emitter earth circuit , collector current greatly varies according to base current while variation of
value of load resistance connected to collector does not give large effect to electric current . But in
collector earth circuit , because forward voltage is applied between emitter and base for output circuit ,
emitter current (from collector to emitter) flows so as to be applied at load resistance as it is .
Accordingly emitter current is controlled by small base current as well as emitter current varies directly
also by load resistance variation .
As above, we learned three types of earth methods according to terminals used in common . Among

BASIC ELECTRONIC
them the most general and usually used method is emitter earth method whereas to summarize it
may be explained by the following characteristics table.

- Variable resistor is thing to control NPN transistor's bias voltage by 0 ~ 3 volt
- That is, become transistor's base and emitter bias voltage high if variable resistance value is high,
and resistance value two. If is low, bias voltage becomes low
- Therefore flowing electric current is passed much to collector and emitter according to bias voltage
- Therefore, can control turning number of motor according to position of variableness resistance

7.2.3 Switching function of transmitter

In explanation of amplification action, we learned that if to electrify between emitter and collector, it
would do making the base current Ib to flow. Namely it will do if we supply base current up to
saturation state where collector current will not almost increase any more. (Nevertheless in small
signal amplification circuit or ordinary home appliances, usually use is made of amplification action
not in saturation region but in active area . ) We can turn on / off circuit between emitter and collector
by on / offing the base current Ib under this condition . This is called transistor 's switching action
among transistor 's amplification action..
We can make role like of relay if using transistor 's switching action as shown in figure.

Transistor 's base current corresponds to relay 's excitation current so that transistor may act as the

So transistor 's switching action has the following advantages to the relay.
- Switching speed is fast (more than thousand times per second).
- Operation is stable and there is no chattering when on / offing the contact point as that in relay
because there is no mechanical contact . It is small type with less electric power consumption .
It has longer life than mechanical relay.

1. When multi-meter measures between B~E and B~C in forward direction under normal condition,
it is electrified ( showing ordinarily some hundred mV in case of digital meter but a low resistance
value in case of analog type meter). Inversely when measured in reverse direction, it is not
electrified so that there is little change in indication value of multi-meter (by which there is
displayed a voltage same as for case when measuring rod was not connected in case of digital
meter while there is displayed an approximately infinite resistance value is displayed in case of
analog meter).
2. Next if also measured for interval of E~C forwardly and backwardly with the measuring rod, there
is little change in indication value of multi-meter for both of the reciprocal cases because it is not
electrified for both cases. Whereas in some cases according to transistor sort and characteristic
when red (+) rod is connected to collector and black (-) rod is connected to emitter (in case of
NPN, but reversibly in case of PNP), quite a high resistance value may be displayed even though
it would not be infinite ( so namely a little current may flow).
For reference to say, when testing transistor or diode, if measuring under condition where it has been
connected to circuit , it may be affected by connected circuit resistance value, it is desirable to
measure under condition isolated from circuitry. And in case where generally transistor or diode has
been broken , it is displayed as primarily short circuit form .
Polarity distinction of transistor

1. In case of using analog multi-meter.
1) Put mode switch in Analog multi meter at R100 or R1000 with in measurable range.
2) First connect a lead wire to any pin in transistor. Then connect left 2 terminals in
transistor respectively, using other lead wire.
3) At this moment, if the direction becomes CW, which resistance measuring becomes
nearly OΩ, black lead wire connection becomes base line in NPN transmitter and red

lead wire connection becomes base line in PNP transmitter.

4) If you set mode switch in R1000 at circuit tester, result in CW direction after measuring
other two pins’ resistance respectively, red lead wire connection becomes collector in
NPN and black lead wire becomes collector in PNP.

12. Integrated Circuit (I.C)

12.1 Integrated circuit general
An integrated circuit or IC is several hundreds of resistors, transistors and other elements formed
on a substrate to function as if they were single device. When reading a circuit with an IC,
understanding of the operating conditions as indicated by the timing chart or table is important. In
this chapter, how a circuit with an IC should be read will be described.
Type of I.C

○ SSI (Small Scale Integrated Circuit) : Less than 100 elements
○ MSI (Medium Scale Integrated Circuit) : 100 to 1,000 elements

The IC shown here is one called comparator.
“a” is the power supply terminal and “b” is the ground terminal, both are required to supply power to
the comparator for its operation but are not directly associated with the operation itself.
The comparator compares the potential at terminal c and terminal d and in this operating conditions
shown, it gives output va[v] at point e only when the potential at point c is higher than the potential at
point d.
Of the two input terminal voltages, one that remains constant is called the reference voltage and one
that changes is called the comparison voltage which of the two input terminals has the reference

12.3 Digital I.C

Logic circuit
In a digital circuit, two signals are used, that is, signal with high voltage (H) and signal with low
voltage (L) or presence of signal and absence of signal.
And as a convention, these two signals are represented by “1” and “0”.
For example, when the transistor is off in this figure, Vce is 12V and this state of voltage is taken as
“1”.
When the switch is set to ON to turn on the transistor, VCE becomes 0V and this state is taken as
“0”.
In a digital circuit unlike an analog one, various information is expressed by combination of only two
signals that can have only two states, namely, “1” or “0”.
A logic circuit is a circuit that gives an output “1” or “0” when input signal that is combination of “1”
and “0” is applied.

12.4 Various logic circuits

12.4.1 AND circuit (logical product)
And operation is the operation that gives a result only when all conditions are met such as “the
brake warning lamp lights up when the ignition switch is ON and the parking brake switch is ON”.
Namely, the AND circuit is a circuit of which output signal becomes “1” when the input signals are
all “1”.

This figure shows an example of AND circuit using transistors. When both input signals A and B
are 1(H), 1(H) voltage is obtained at output C.
For output C to be high, it is necessary that both Tr 2 be off and for these two transistors to be off,
it is necessary that Tr1 and Tr2 be on. And for Tr1 and Tr2 to go on, high (H) voltage must be
applied to inputs A and B so that base current may flow to both transistors.

BASIC ELECTRONIC
12.4.2 OR circuit (logical sum)

OR operation is the operation that gives a result when at least one condition among various
conditions is met such as “when any one door is opened, the door ajar indicator lamp lights up”
Namely, the OR circuit is a circuit whose output becomes “1” when at least one input signal is “1”.
In contrast to the AND circuit whose output is “1” when all inputs are “1”, the OR circuit may be
considered as a circuit whose output is “0” when all inputs are “0”.
A B C
1 1 1
1 0 1
0 1 1

This figure shows an example of OR circuit using transistors.

When either input A or input B is “1” output C becomes “1”.

BASIC ELECTRONIC
12.4.3 NOT Circuit (negation)

The NOT circuit is a circuit whose output is inverse of the input, such as when the input signal is
“1”, the output signal is “0” or vice versa.
For this reason, the NOT circuit is sometimes called an inverter.
A B C
1 1 1
1 0 1
0 1 1
0 0 0
Note : The relationship between transistor base voltage (VBE) and collector voltage (VCE) is NOT

Namely, when the base voltage is high, the transistor goes on and hence the collector voltage
becomes low. On the other hand, when the base voltage is low, the transistor goes off and
hence the collector voltage is high.

13. Microcomputer
The microcomputer is a kind of computer. Let’s now review briefly the history of development of
computers.
The first computers ever produced were mechanical ones using gears and other mechanical
parts, which was followed by electric ones using relays and them by electronic computers using
vacuum tubes. An electronic computer using vacuum tubes was large enough to occupy an entire
room of a building, with an many as 20,000 tubes in use. These vacuum tubes were then
replaced by transistors and then by integrated circuits (IC). The degree of integration of these Ics
then became increasingly higher, developing to LSI (large scale integration) and VLSI (very large
scale integration) With these developments, computers also changed from vacuum type to
transistor type to IC type and then to current LSI type, with their size becoming increasingly
smaller.
Let’s now see how microcomputers were born.
When development was under way to make electronic portable calculators more compact and
more sophisticated, every design change required redesign of LSI, which required very large cost
and time. This problem was coped with by the use of LSI that allowed free change of internal
functions by program. Namely, with such LSI, you can change the programs to allow
development of new calculators. And such LSI whose internal functions could be freely changed
by program modification was a microcomputer. In other words, a microcomputer is an LSI with
functions that are described in the following.
13.1 Three elements of microcomputer

A microcomputer consists of three elements, CPU (central processing unit) memory and I/O
(input/output unit)
13.2 I/O unit (Input / output unit)

Through this unit, the microcomputer communicates with external units (sensor, switch, actuator,
etc.) In the case of ECU for instance, the intake air amount is input to the microcomputer as a

BASIC ELECTRONIC
sensor signal and the result of calculation by the CPU is output from this I/O as the fuel injection
amount control signal.
13.3 Memory
The memory stores the program (set of directions for operation, judgment, data exchange, etc.),
data (reference voltage for ECU air/fuel ratio comparison, for instance) and signals that are input
while the CPU is busy with calculation processing.
The memory is generally classified into the following two types.
13.4 ROM (Read Only Memory)

A Memory for read only. In the case of a microcomputer for automotive application, only one fixed
program needs execution and for this reason, the program is permanently stored in a ROM. The
ROM is nonvolatile. The contents are held permanently even after power is turned off. This
nature makes ROM optimum device for storing programs.
13.5 RAM (Random Access Memory)

Memories that can be write in and read from. It is used for temporarily storing data. Normally it is
volatile and the contents stored are lost once the power is turned off.
Note : Nonvolatile RAM is also available that is called NVRAM. It is used in electronic odometer,
for example.
13.6 CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The part of a computer, that performs operation, interpretation and data exchange according to
the program stored in the memory.
Take the O2 sensor of ECM as an example. When the voltage signal indicating the air/fuel ratio
arrives at the I/O unit from the O2 sensor, the CPU makes processing according to the program
stored in the memory in the following manner.
The CPU compares this signal with the reference voltage stored in the memory and if the signal
voltage is higher, it judges that the air/fuel ratio is higher than the theoretical air/fuel ratio and
outputs the signal for lowering the fuel injection rate to the I/O. Then, the I/O sends out this signal
(to the injector) so that the fuel injection rate is reduced.
13.7 Types of microcomputer

The microcomputers can be divided into two types depending on whether separate LSI
implements its three elements or all these elements are implemented by a signal LSI.
The former type is called a multi chip microcomputer and the latter type is called a one hip

BASIC ELECTRONIC
microcomputer. The microcomputers used in a car mostly belong to the latter category.
13.8 Basic operation of microcomputer

The basic internal operation of a microcomputer is addition and subtraction of binary numbers
and the internal circuits are basically logic circuits. Namely, the microcomputer is essentially
digital IC and its internal circuit can be represented by logical symbols. The internal circuits of a
microcomputer for automotive application are complicated but they are relatively easy to
understand if you have basic knowledge of logic circuits.
Note : Binary number

The numbers 0 through 9 we use in our daily life are decimal numbers. Binary numbers, on the
other hand, consist of only two numbers of 0 and 1. These two numbers correspond, as you will
be aware, to the two signals of a logic circuit. In other words, a microcomputer is a digital IC that
processes binary data by its logic circuit.

BASIC ELECTRONIC
13.9 Microcomputer in a system

15.9.1 Use as a controller
In a system formed by transistor, IC, LSI and other individual parts, a microcomputer is
introduced as a controller. Typical examples are TV and radio sets and other household electric
and electronic appliances.
15.9.2 Use as a computer
Application with emphasis placed on its calculation function.
Personal computers and word processor belong to this category.
15.9.3 Combined use as controller and computer

Use of a microcomputer not for simple control of machine, but for optimum control.
Namely, the microcomputer judges conditions that are constantly changing and controls the
machine adequately. Microcomputers used in a car belong to this category.
15.9.4 Example of application
As an example of practical application of microcomputers to cars, the computer unit for ECM
will be descried.
This computer unit of ECM computers the optimum fuel supply rate to the engine, etc. with its
microcomputer.
Signals from various sensors are input via the I/O unit and calculated by the CPU according to
the program stored in ROM.
In memory (RAM), data and calculation results are stored temporarily as necessary.
