When you see a small component labeled "IC" inside an electronic device, you may wonder what it is.IC, full name Integrated Circuit (Integrated Circuit), simply put, it is PCBA assembly and processing plant will be more than one electronic components (such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) integrated in a tiny semiconductor chip to form a complete circuit. A tiny semiconductor chip to form a complete circuit. This circuit is encapsulated in a housing for easy installation and use.
So do you know what are the classifications and characteristics of circuit ICs? Let's find out next:
First: the classification and characteristics of circuit board IC:
1. Package form: IC has a variety of package forms, such as QFP, TQFP, SOP, PLCC, etc., each of which has its own specific application scenarios and advantages.
2. Functional structure: According to the different functions and structures, ICs can be divided into analog integrated circuits, digital integrated circuits, and mixed digital/analog integrated circuits. Analog ICs handle continuously changing signals, such as audio signals, while digital ICs handle discrete signals, such as data in computers.
3. Production process: IC according to the production process can be divided into semiconductor integrated circuits and membrane integrated circuits, the latter also includes thick film and thin film integrated circuits.
4. Degree of integration: According to the degree of integration, ICs can be categorized into SSICs, MSICs, LSICs, VLSICs, ULSICs, and GSICs, representing the degree of integration from small scale to huge scale.
5. Conductivity type: The conductivity type of ICs is categorized into bipolar and unipolar, which mainly affects the power consumption and the complexity of the fabrication process.
6. Usage: ICs are used in a wide range of applications, such as TVs, stereos, computers, communication devices, etc., and each device has its own specialized integrated circuit.
7. Application: From the point of view of application, ICs can be divided into standard general-purpose integrated circuits and special-purpose integrated circuits, the latter being optimized for specific applications.
8. Shape: ICs come in a variety of shapes, including round, flat, and dual-row in-line, etc. Each shape has its own specific advantages and applicable scenarios.
With the progress of technology, the circuit of the IC is moving towards more miniaturization, higher integration and more powerful function of the direction of development, become a modern PCBA assembly processing plant clock indispensable core components.
