Integrated Circuit, that is, integrated circuit, IC industry is simply understood as the chip industry\/semiconductor industry.
< br >
IC according to the function can be divided into: digital IC, analog IC, microwave IC and other ics.
< br >
Digital IC is the transmission, processing, processing digital signal chip, divided into general digital IC and special digital IC, but also the most widely used, the fastest growing chip varieties.
< br >
General purpose ics refer to those with many users, a wide range of applications, standard circuits, such as memory (DRAM), microprocessor (MPU) and microprocessor (MCU).
< br >
Specialized IC (ASIC), literally, is an IC chip designed for a particular use or domain.
< br >
The chip is divided into the following two output modes.
< br >
1, IC manufacturers (IDM) designed by themselves, by their own industry line for processing, packaging, testing, and finally output chips.
< br >
2, IC design company (Fabless) and IC manufacturing company (Foundry) combined, the design company will finally determine the physical layout to Foundry processing and manufacturing, packaging and testing is handed over to downstream manufacturers.
IC Design, or Integrated Circuit Design, is a discipline of electronic engineering and computer engineering, whose main content is the use of professional logic and circuit design techniques to design integrated circuits (ics).
