Integrated circuits (ICs) are electronic components like resistors, transistors and capacitors compacted onto a small chip to perform common functions. Modern ICs contain billions of components on a single chip through a specialized design process. ICs are produced through photolithography that etches circuits onto silicon wafers, then cut into chips and packaged before use in electronic devices. Common logic ICs contain basic logic gates and are produced through standardized packages and functions by multiple manufacturers.

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. How Integrated Chips are made? • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bor0qLifjz4&t=198s&ab_channel =InfineonTechnologiesAG 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.
