IC 555 timer (integrated circuit )

The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit which is used in variety of timer, pulse generations and oscillators applications. The IC 555 timer got its name by three 5kΩ resistor in series used in the internal

IC terminology

Some of the common terms (IC terminology) are defined below: Bonding – attachment of wires to an IC. Chip – an extremely small part of a silicon on wafer on which IC is fabricated. One Si wafer

Advantage and Disadvantage of ICs (integrated circuits)

Advantages of IC The entire physical size of IC is extremely small than that of discrete circuit. The weight of an IC is very less as compared entire discrete circuits. It’s more reliable. Because of their smaller

Difference between Linear IC and Digital IC

Following are the difference between linear integrated circuits and digital integrated circuits: Linear ICs Digital ICs Linear ICs (Linear Integrated Circuits) are called as analog IC. Digital ICs (Digital Integrated Circuits) are also called as non linear

Difference between Monolithic ICs and Hybrid ICs (integrated circuits)

Following are the difference between monolithic ic and hybrid ic. Monolithic ICs Hybrid ICs Monolithic integrated circuits which are  fabricated entirely on a  single chips. Hybrid integrated circuits are  fabricated by inter-  connecting a number of  individual chips. A

Why Silicon is used (needed) for ICs? – Integrated circuit

We have many semiconductor materials in use. But why we use most of the SILICON for manufacturing the ICs (Integrated Circuit). For this may have a following reasons- It is chemically simple and is not subjected to

Integrated circuits terminology

Some of the common terms (IC terminology) are defined below: Bonding – attachment of wires to an IC. Chip – an extremely small part of a silicon on wafer on which IC is fabricated. One Si wafer of 2

Classification of integrated circuits by function

Classification of ICs by Function  The earlier classification of ICs  was based on their method of construction.  However, the integrated circuits can also be classified according to their general function. The two most important  categories are: Linear

What are the applications of ICs?

Complete electronic circuits in which both passive and active components are fabricated on a single chip of silicon are called as integrated circuit. Applications of ICs Integrated circuits (IC) are being used in number of electronics application
