Detailed explanation-1: -The small size of these circuits allows high speed, low power dissipation, and reduced manufacturing cost compared with board-level integration. These digital ICs, typically microprocessors, DSPs, and microcontrollers, use boolean algebra to process “one” and “zero” signals.
Detailed explanation-2: -An integrated circuit (IC), sometimes called a chip, microchip or microelectronic circuit, is a semiconductor wafer on which thousands or millions of tiny resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors are fabricated.
Detailed explanation-3: -At present, IC critical dimensions (or smallest dimensions of IC elements) are in the order of 10 nanometers (nm: 10-9m), which is extremely small.
Detailed explanation-4: -The advantages of ICs : (i) Extremely small in size, (ii) Low power consumption, (iii) Reliability, (iv) Reduced cost, (v) Very small weight and (vi) Easy replacement.
