10 Facts About Integrated circuits

Dozens of TTL integrated circuits were a standard method of construction for the processors of minicomputers and mainframe computers.

Digital integrated circuits can contain billions of logic gates, flip-flops, multiplexers, and other circuits in a few square millimeters.

The small size of these Integrated circuits allows high speed, low power dissipation, and reduced manufacturing cost compared with board-level integration.

Digital memory chips and application-specific integrated circuits are examples of other families of integrated circuits.

Such mixed-signal Integrated circuits offer smaller size and lower cost, but must account for signal interference.
