3. What is an integrated circuit?
An integrated circuit is a set of electronic circuits on
one small plate of semiconductor material.
Integrated circuits are used in virtually all electronic
equipment and have revolutionized the world of
electronics.

6. Analog ICs
Analog ICs, such as sensors, power management
circuits, and operational amplifiers, work by
processing continuous signals. They perform
functions like amplification, active filtering, de
modulation, mixing, etc

7. Digital ICs
Digital integrated circuits can contain anything from
one to millions of logic gates, multiplexers and other
circuits in a few square millimeters. The small size of
these circuits allows high speed, low power
dissipation, and reduced manufacturing cost
compared with board-level integration.

8. Advantages of Integrated Circuits
Low cost
Low power consumption
Occupies less space
Faster operation due to reduction of stray capacitance
and inductance.
Mass scale production is possible.
Easy to put into various applications without
knowing the underlying complexity.
Billions of transistor can be fabricated on a single
chip
