Discrete device

Discrete device

A discrete device (or discrete component) is an electronic component with just one circuit element, either passive (resistor, capacitor, inductor) or active (transistor or vacuum tube), other than an integrated circuit. Several discrete devices are combined to form a discrete circuit. Such discrete circuits are different from integrated circuits and hybrid circuits, which are built from several circuit elements in one package.
It typically refers to semiconductor devices. Examples are:

Passive devices:
