Integrated Circuits

What are ICs?


• An IC is a collection of electronic
components -- resistors, transistors,
capacitors, etc. -- all stuffed into a tiny
chip, and connected together to achieve a
common goal.
• An IC can function as an amplifier,
oscillator, timer, counter, logic gate,
computer memory, microcontroller or
microprocessor.
• Integrated circuits (ICs) are a keystone of
modern electronics. They are the heart
and brains of most circuits. They are the
ubiquitous little black "chips" you find on
just about every circuit board.
Types of integrated circuits
• Analog – usually use only few components and quite simple. They
have continuous variable output depending on the input signal. In
theory, such IC may attain infinite number of states.
• Digital - digital ICs don't operate over a continuous range of signal
amplitudes. Rather, they operate at only a few defined (discrete)
levels or states. The fundamental building blocks of digital ICs are
logic gates, which work with binary data, i.e. signals that have only
two different states, called low (logic 0) and high (logic 1).
Modern integrated circuits:
Design and Construction
• For the past half-century, ICs have progressed enormously with faster speeds,
greater capacity and smaller sizes.
• Compared to the early days, today's ICs are unbelievably complex, capable of
holding billions of transistors and other components on a single small piece of
material. The modern IC is all one piece, with individual components embedded
directly into the silicon crystal, rather than simply mounted on it.
• With millions or billions of components on one single chip, it's not possible to
position and connect each component individually. Dies are too small to solder
and connect to. Instead, designers use a special-purpose programming language
to create small circuit elements and combine them to progressively increase the
size and density of components on the chip to meet application requirements.

IC Packages
• The package is what encapsulates
the integrated circuit die and splays
it out into a device we can more
easily connect to. Each outer
connection on the die is connected
via a tiny piece of gold wire to a pad
or pin on the package. Pins are the
silver, extruding terminals on an IC,
which go on to connect to other
parts of a circuit. These are of
utmost importance to us, because
they're what will go on to connect
to the rest of the components and
wires in a circuit.
Polarity Marking and Pin Numbering
• All ICs are polarized, and every pin is unique in terms of both location
and function. This means the package has to have some way to convey
which pin is which. Most ICs will use either a notch or a dot to indicate
which pin is the first pin. (Sometimes both, sometimes one or the other.)
Mounting Style
• Through-hole packages are generally bigger, and much easier to work
with. They're designed to be stuck through one side of a board and
soldered to the other side.
• Surface-mount packages range in size from small to minuscule. They
are all designed to sit on one side of a circuit board and be soldered
to the surface.
Logic IC
• A logic IC is a semiconductor device that implements a basic logical
operation that is performed on one or more digital input signals
(represented by 1 and 0 or H and L) to produce a digital output
signal.
Logic IC
• Basic logic gates are available from multiple manufacturers as
industry-standard ICs, which are functionally and pin-compatible.
These ICs are called standard logic ICs.
• Standard logic ICs from different manufacturers are housed in pin-
compatible packages, except some small packages.
• Standard logic ICs with the same function number provide the same
function and pin assignment.
Types of Standard Logic IC
• TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) - It is a logic family made up of bipolar
junction transistors (BJTs). Here, both the functions (logic and
amplifying) are performed by the transistors; therefore, it is named as
the Transistor-Transistor Logic.
• CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) - CMOS is the
most common MOSFET fabrication type, it uses the complementary
and symmetrical pairs of the p-type and n-type Metal Oxide Field
effect transistors for performing the logic functions.
