Embedded System Symbols

Component, Circuit, Schematics Symbol

An Embedded Software Programmer should be familiar on schematic symbol and able to understanding the system logic from schematics. Schematic is symbolic representation of electronic circuits. The symbols represent electronic elements on schematic diagrams. There are different standards and symbols can differ. For clarification, it is always best to ask the engineer responsible for drafting the schematic. Sample schematics,

Electronic component name help to refer to specific points in schematics. The prefixes of names are standardized. Here’s a quick table of common components and their name prefixes:

Name Identifier	Component
R	Resistors
C	Capacitors
L	Inductors
S	Switches
D	Diodes
Q	Transistors
U	Integrated Circuits
Y	Crystals and Oscillators

Components and its symbols:

Resistor Symbol	Capacitor Symbol
Inductor Symbol	Transformer Symbol
Diode Symbol	Rectifier Symbol
Thyristor Symbol	Transistor Symbol
Tube Symbol	Gate Symbol
