Electronic system
A electronic system that is powered by electricity, and it processes information, data, or any raw material from input into a desired output for further usage in life.
- Inputs - Electrical or mechanical sensors, which take signals from the physical world (in the form of temperature, pressure, etc.) and convert them into electric current and voltage signals.
- Signal processing circuits - These consist of electronic components connected together to manipulate, interpret and transform the information contained in the signals.
- Outputs - Actuators or other devices that transform current and voltage signals back into human readable information.
