Understanding Integrated Circuits
Integrated circuits (ICs), also called microelectronic circuits, microchips, or chips, are an assembly of multiple functional elements mounted on one chip. In an IC, miniaturized active device connections are built on a thin substrate of semiconductor material. ICs are characterized by their intended purpose or function. A single IC can contains thousands to millions of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and diodes.
Product categories include Power Management ICs, Logic ICs, Audio & Photo ICs, and more. ICs support commercial appliances, automotive and aerospace applications, smartphones, and networking switches.
