Circuit
Digital Integrated Circuit can handle discrete signals and read data in binary values, like 0 and 1.
Digital integrated circuits generally consist of logic gates, multiplexers etc. It may contain an
amplifier or a broad microprocessor. The basic design of digital integrated circuits is depicted in the
diagram below
Analog integrated circuit design is used for designing operational amplifiers, linear regulators,
oscillators, active filters, and phase locked loops
MIXED INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
A combination of an analog integrated circuit and a digital integrated circuit is known as a mixed
circuit. The mixed type of integrated circuit performs either analog to digital conversions or digital to
analog conversions.
COMPARATOR
Comparators. Comparator ICs are useful and serve in comparing the inputs.
MEMORY INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
Examples of memory ICs include random access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM).
VLSI – Very Large Scale Integration. This type of integrated circuit has more than 3000 gates per
chip.
THICK AND FILM ICS
HYBIRD TECHNOLOGY
Hybrid technology: Hybrid technology has a ceramic substrate that carries many silicon chips.
MONOLITHIC ICS
Monolithic microwave ICs. A special type of RFIC is known as a monolithic microwave IC (MMIC;
also called microwave monolithic IC).
LARGE SCALE
INTEGRATION
PMOS is oldest and slowest types, NMOs is used for the LSI (Large Scale Integration) field for
microprocesses memories
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS
Operational Amplifiers. The operational amplifiers are frequently used ICs, similar to the
audio amplifiers which are used for the audio amplification
The term small-scale integration is referring to the process of putting many electronic
components within a single chip area.
Classification of ICs
Based on the size of their chips, integrated circuits are classified into four types:
o SSI – Small Scale Integration This type of integrated circuit has around 3 to 30 gate chips.
o MSI – Medium Scale Integration This type of integrated circuit has around 30 to 300 gates
per chip.
o LSI – Large Scale Integration This type of integrated circuit has around 300 to 3000 gates per
chip
o VLSI – Very Large Scale Integration This type of integrated circuit has more than 3000 gates
per chip.
