Integrated Circuits type
History of Integrated Circuits
This technology was invented in the year of 1950 the by Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments USA and Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor USA. The first costumer to this new invention was the US Air Force. In the year 2000 Jack Kilby won the Nobel Prize in Physics for miniaturized electronic circuits.
To conquer this negative aspect, the integrated circuit technology was developed – Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments developed the first IC or integrated circuit in the 1950s and thereafter, Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor solved some practical problems of thisintegrated circuit.
Types of Integrated Circuits
Circuits can be classified into different types based on different criteria, such as, based on connections: series circuits and parallel circuits; based on the size and manufacturing process of circuit: integrated circuits and discrete circuits; and, based on signal used in circuit: analog circuits and digital circuits.
