  2. Integrated circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit

    The pinouts are the dark circles surrounding the integrated circuit. An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip, computer chip, or simply chip, is a small electronic device made up of multiple interconnected electronic components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors. These components are etched onto a small piece of ...

  3. Integrated circuit design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit_design

    Integrated circuit design, semiconductor design, chip designor IC design, is a sub-field of electronics engineering, encompassing the particular logicand circuit designtechniques required to design integrated circuits, or ICs. ICs consist of miniaturized electronic componentsbuilt into an electrical networkon a monolithic semiconductorsubstrate ...

  4. System on a chip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip

    A system on a chip or system-on-chip (SoC / ˌˈɛsoʊsiː /; pl. SoCs / ˌˈɛsoʊsiːz /) is an integrated circuit that integrates most or all components of a computer or other electronic system. These components almost always include on-chip central processing unit (CPU), memory interfaces, input/output devices and interfaces, and secondary ...

  5. Application-specific integrated circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific...

    A packet processing ASIC inside an Ethernet switch. An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC / ˈeɪsɪk /) is an integrated circuit (IC) chip customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use, such as a chip designed to run in a digital voice recorder or a high-efficiency video codec.

  6. Electronic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_circuit

    An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric current can flow. It is a type of electrical circuit. For a circuit to be referred to as electronic, rather than electrical, generally at least ...

  7. Very-large-scale integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-large-scale_integration

    Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) chips were developed and then widely adopted, enabling complex semiconductor and telecommunications technologies.

  8. Microprocessor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor

    A microprocessor is a computer processor for which the data processing logic and control is included on a single integrated circuit (IC), or a small number of ICs. The microprocessor contains the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to perform the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU).

  9. Network on a chip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_on_a_chip

    v. t. e. A network on a chip or network-on-chip (NoC / ˌɛnˌoʊˈsiː / en-oh-SEE or / nɒk / knock) [ nb 1 ] is a network -based communications subsystem on an integrated circuit (" microchip "), most typically between modules in a system on a chip (SoC). The modules on the IC are typically semiconductor IP cores schematizing various ...
