Other Special Components Used In Electronics

Chips are also called integrated circuits, which can be understood as the miniaturization and miniaturization of circuits. Chips are generally divided into three categories: digital chips, analog chips and digital-analog hybrid chips, and the classification according to their uses is even wider. All high-tech electronic devices are inseparable from chips, and modern life cannot be separated from chips.

A chip is actually a highly integrated circuit board and can also be called an IC. For example, the CPU of a computer is actually a chip. ICs of different systems have different functions. For example, video encoding and decoding ICs are specially used to process video data, audio encoding/ The decoding IC is used to process the sound.

If the central processing unit CPU is compared to the heart of the entire computer system, then the chipset on the motherboard is the trunk of the entire body. For the motherboard, the chipset almost determines the function of the motherboard, which in turn affects the performance of the entire computer system. The chipset is the soul of the motherboard.

The circuit is manufactured on the surface of the semiconductor chip for calculation and processing. Integrated circuits have two main advantages over discrete transistors: cost and performance. The low cost is due to the fact that the chip has all its components printed as a unit by photolithography, rather than making only one transistor at a time. IC chip (Integrated Circuit Chip) is an integrated circuit formed by a large number of microelectronic components (transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) on a plastic base to make a chip. IC chips include wafer chips and packaged chips, and the corresponding IC chip production line consists of two parts: wafer production line and packaging production line. The transistors in the chip are divided into two states: on and off, usually represented by 1 and 0, and then 1 and 0 are used to transmit signals and transmit data. After the chip is powered on, it will generate a start command, and all transistors will start to transmit data, and output specific commands and data.
