Integrated Circuits: Explained.

 

Integrated Circuits(IC’s):

An integrated circuit also referred to as an IC is an electronic circuit formed on a small piece of semiconducting material performing the same function as a larger circuit made from discrete components an IC is a collection of electronic components resistors transistors capacitors etc, all combined into a tiny chip and connected together to achieve a common goal. Integrated circuits can be categorized as analog-digital or a combination of both analog.

ICS work by processing continuous signals they perform functions like amplification active filtering demodulation and mixing digital ICS operates only at a few defined levels instead of operating overall levels of signal amplitude, they are designed by using multiple numbers of digital logic gates multiplexer flip-flops and other electronic components of circuits, these logic gates work with binary input data or digital input data these devices are used in computers computer networks modems and frequency counters integrated circuits that combine both analog and digital ICS on a single-chip are called mixed IC use these functions as digital to analog converters analog to digital converters and class timing ICS the most common An example of a modern IC is the computer processor which consists of billions of fabricated transistors logic gates and other digital circuitry.

 

That’s all. Hope you will like it.
