COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -SSI and MSI IC was used in third generation of computers. SSI, MSI, The first integrated circuits contained only a few transistors and so were called “Small-Scale Integration (SSI). They used circuits containing transistors numbering in the tens. They were very crucial in the development of early computers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of the third generation computers include IBM-360 series, Honeywell-6000 series, PDP (Personal Data Processor), and IBM-370/168.

Detailed explanation-3: -Integrated circuits combine multiple transistors into one compact package. Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments invented the integrated circuit in 1958.
