    Third Generation: of Computer 1965-1971

    Uploaded by

    Angelica Mina
    The third generation of computers used integrated circuits which replaced individual transistors, greatly reducing the size and cost of computers while also making them more reliable and efficient. Integrated circuits were invented by Jack Kilby and originated from the discovery of the transistor, packaging many transistors and other components onto a small silicon chip. They provided advantages like lower power consumption and heat generation while allowing computers to become general purpose machines, though developing the advanced technology to produce integrated circuits was challenging.

    THIRD

    GENERATION
    OF COMPUTER
    1965-1971
    GROUP 7
    Third Generation
    • 1. INTERGRATED CIRCUITS
    • 2. SMALLER SIZE
    • 3. FASTER PROCESSORS
    • 4. LESS EXPENSIVE
    • 5. GOOD STORAGE
    Third Generation
    • The computers of third
    generation used Integrated
    Circuits (ICs) in place of
    transistors. A single IC has
    many transistors, resistors, and
    capacitors along with the
    associated circuitry.
    An integrated circuit, or IC, is small chip that
    can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer,
    microprocessor, or even computer memory.
    An IC is a small wafer, usually made of
    silicon, that can hold anywhere from
    hundreds to millions of transistors, resistors,
    and capacitors.
    INTEGRATED AND TRANSISTORS

    Jack Kilby was an electrical engineer


    who invented the integrated circuit and
    microchip, thus greatly influencing the
    shape of modern computing
    Integrated circuits have their origin in the invention of the
    transistor in 1947 by William B. Shockley and his team at the
    American Telephone and Telegraph Company’s Bell Laboratories.
    Shockley’s team. found that, under the right circumstances,
    electrons would form a barrier at the surface of certain crystals,
    and they learned to control the flow of electricity through the
    crystal by manipulating this barrier. Controlling electron flow
    through a crystal allowed the team to create a device that could
    perform certain electrical operations, such as signal
    amplification, that were previously done by vacuum tubes.
    • They named this device a transistor, from a combination of the
    words transfer and resistor. The study of methods of creating
    electronic devices using solid materials became known as
    solid-state electronics. Solid-state devices proved to be much
    sturdier, easier to work with, more reliable, much smaller, and
    less expensive than vacuum tubes. Using the same principles
    and materials, engineers soon learned to create other electrical
    components, such as resistors and capacitors. Now that
    electrical devices could be made so small, the largest part of a
    circuit was the awkward wiring between the devices.
    ADVANTAGES AND
    DISADVANTAGE

    • Very advance technology was required to make the ICs.


    • Air conditioning was required in many cases due to ICs.
