Discrete semiconductors are electronic components that are used to control or regulate the flow of electricity in a circuit. These components include diodes, transistors, and thyristors. They are called "discrete" because they are separate components that can be easily substituted or replaced in a circuit.

Diodes are designed to allow current to flow in only one direction, while transistors are used to amplify or switch electronic signals. Thyristors are similar to transistors, but are designed to handle much larger currents and voltages.

Discrete semiconductors are commonly used in the manufacturing industry for a variety of applications. For example, they may be used in motor control circuits to regulate the speed and direction of motors in machinery. They may also be used in power supplies to convert AC voltage to DC voltage, or to provide voltage regulation in electronic devices.

Overall, discrete semiconductors play a critical role in modern electronics and are essential components in many manufacturing applications.
