Integrated Circuit Advantages

Integrated Circuit Advantages. ICs have three key advantages over digital circuits built from discrete components: Size. The resulting circuit is thus a small monolithic 'chip,' which may be as small.

How does a miniaturized integrated circuit do the same job as a much larger, conventional electron circuit?
A monolithic integrated circuit (also known as IC, microchip, silicon chip, computer chip or chip) is a miniaturized electronic circuit (consisting mainly of semiconductor devices, as well as passive components).
ICs consist of miniaturized electronic components built into an electrical network on a monolithic semiconductor. Integrated circuits (ICs) are a keystone of modern electronics. They are the ubiquitous little black "chips" you find on just about every circuit board.
