Chips are classified into the following types by purpose:
Computing chip: Used to perform computing tasks, such as CPU, GPU, and TPU.
Memory chip: used to store data, such as DRAM, SRAM, NAND flash, etc.
Communication chip: Used to achieve communication functions, such as baseband chip, RF chip, Bluetooth chip, etc.
Sensor chip: Used to sense environmental information, such as temperature sensor, humidity sensor, pressure sensor, etc.
Control chip: used to control the operation of electronic equipment, such as single-chip microcomputer, DSP, PLC, etc.
Power management chip: used to manage the power supply of electronic devices, such as battery management chip, power conversion chip, etc.
Display driver chip: Used to drive display devices, such as LCD driver chip, OLED driver chip, etc.
Audio processing chip: used to process audio signals, such as audio codec chip, audio amplifier chip, etc.
Video processing chip: used to process video signals, such as video codec chip, image sensor chip, etc.
The above are some common types of chips classified by use, and different chip types play different roles in electronic devices to achieve various functions of the device.
Chips are classified into general purpose processors, graphics processors, network processors, memory and sensor chips.
General-purpose processors are mainly used for general-purpose computing tasks, such as central processing units (cpus) and digital signal processors (DSPS). Graphics processors are mainly used for graphics and video processing, such as graphics cards and video processing chips; Network processor is mainly used for network communication, such as router and switch chip; The memory is mainly used for data storage and reading and writing, such as controller chips in solid state drives; Sensor chips are primarily used to sense the environment and convert it into digital signals, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes. These classifications can help people better understand the applications and functions of chips in different fields.
There are many kinds of integrated circuit chips, which can be roughly classified as follows.
First, according to the mode of transistor operation is divided into two categories, digital chip and analog chip, digital chip is mainly used in the field of computer and logic control, analog circuit is mainly used in the field of small signal amplification processing.
Second, according to the process is divided into two categories, bipolar chip and CMOS chip.
Third, according to the scale, it is divided into super scale, large scale, medium scale and small scale.
Fourth, according to the power is divided into signal processing chip and power chip two categories fifth, according to the package is divided into direct insert and surface mount two categories fifth, according to the use of the environment is divided into aerospace grade chip, automotive grade chip, industrial grade chip and commercial grade chip each category has many subdivisions, can not be described in detail.
