INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

Question 1

It is an electronic circuit formed on a small piece of semiconducting material,performing the same function as a larger circuit made from discrete components.

Answer 1

Integrated circuit

Question 2

invented the semiconductor-based thermal printer. In 1967 he designed the first IC-basedelectroniccalculator, the Pocketronic, gaining himself andTI the basic patent that lies at the heart of all pocket calculators.

Answer 2

Jack Kilby

Question 3

was the general manager of the company and while there invented the integrated chip, a chip of silicon with many transistors all etched into it at once.That was the first time he revolutionized the semiconductor industry. He stayed with Fair child until 1968, when he left with Gordon Moore to found Intel.

Answer 3

Robert Noyce

Question 4

is a Japanese electronics engineer.He was one of the architects of the world’s first microprocessor, the Intel 4004. In1968, Shimaworked for Busicom in Japan, anddidthelogicdesign for a specialized CPU to betranslatedintothree-chip custom chips.

Answer 4

Masatoshi Shima

Question 5

Classification of integrated circuits:

Answer 5

Digital ICs
Linear ICs

Question 6

are used in computers, calculators, and digital clocks as well as many other digital devices

Answer 6

Digital ICs

Question 7

are used in analog type circuits such as audio amplifiers, voltage regulators, operational amplifiers, and radio frequency circuits to name just a few. Most linear ICs are low power devices

Answer 7

Linear ICs

Question 8

is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards can read inputs- a light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message-and turn them into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online.

Answer 8

Arduino
