For higher-power applications, a single discrete device is usually used for each of the six arms of the bridge.

Density is merely calculated as the ratio of mass to volume; mass being invariably measured on a discrete device, usually by weighing.

Early designs (c.1960s-1970s) used a discrete device mounted elsewhere in the vehicle.

Pull-up resistors may be discrete devices mounted on the same circuit board as the logic devices.

Officially, the style of the symbol should show the component inside a circle (representing the envelope of a discrete device).

More recently, the symbol is often drawn without its circle even for discrete devices.

A plain bearing may or may not be a discrete device.

These transistors were discrete devices, meaning that each transistor was a separate device.

Root complex functionality may be implemented as a discrete device, or may be integrated with the processor.

Importantly, these solutions are intended to support one user per discrete device.
