Integrated Circuits

Integrated Circuits (ICs) are miniaturized electronic circuits that integrate hundreds, thousands, or even millions of transistors, resistors, and capacitors on a single semiconductor chip. With high performance, compact design, and low power consumption, they are widely used in computers, smartphones, IoT devices, automotive systems, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
 

Types of Integrated Circuits
