Integrated Circuits (IC)
•IC is a small silicon semiconductor crystal,
called a chip, containing the electronic
components for the digital gates.
•The various gates are interconnected inside the
chip to form the required circuit.
•The chip is mounted in a ceramic or plastic
container and the connections are welded to the
external pins to form an IC.
Types of Integrated Circuits
There are different types of integrated circuits based various
criteria. Based on intended application, the Integrated
Circuit (IC) can be classified as following:
IC
Digital
Integrated
Circuits
Analog
Integrated

Mixed

Digital Integrated Circuits
•Digital Integrated Circuits handle discrete signals such as
binary values (0 and 1). These circuits use digital logic gates,
multiplexers, flip flops etc. These circuits are easier to design
and economical.
•Functions of digital integrated circuits to handle discrete
signals such as binary values in which “true/false” logical
operations are used. Basic Boolean functions such as AND,
OR, and NOT are essential in building functionality for
modern digital systems.
Analog Integrated Circuits
Analog Integrated Circuits handle contiguous signals. These are
two types: linear integrated circuits (Linear ICs) and Radio
frequency integrated circuits (RF ICs).
mixed Integrated Circuits
Mixed Integrated Circuits are obtained by the combination of
analog and digital integrated circuits. Therefore it have digital to
analog (A/D) converter, digital to analog (D/A) converter, and
clock/timing integrated circuits.
