Switching Elements 切换元件(开关元件)
A switching element implements the switching function defined by the switch configuration. For use in a switching system, the element must be electrically controllable, and should approximate an ideal switch. (See Section 1 for discussion of an ideal switch and switch configurations.) These two criteria remove many types of switching elements from consideration, even some electrically controllable switches.
切换元件执行开关配置定义的切换功能。位率能够用于切换系统,元件必需是可电气控制的,并且宜接近于理想的开关。(参见第1章关于理解开关和开关配置的讨论)。这两个条件就排除了许多切换元件,哪怕是电气可控的开关。
For example, a transistor is a controllable switch, but it is directional between the collector and emitter, and it has interactive control between the base and emitter.Both of these considerations make the transistor a poor choice for a signal switching element.
例如,晶体管是可控的开关,但它在集电极和发射极之间是定向的,并且在基极和发射极之间是配合控制的。这两个条件都使得晶体管是非常差的信号切换元件。
Figure 2-1 shows the schematic representations for four major types of electrically controllable switching elements. Table 2-1 compares the basic parameters of the four types. As can be seen from the table, the relay family of switching elements offers the best overall performance at a reasonable cost.
