IC Knowledge——Integrated Circuit Classification

3、 Classified by scale

1. Small scale integrated circuit (SSI): Each integrated circuit contains only 10 to 100 electronic components and is commonly used to implement basic logic gates or flip flops. diode

2. Medium scale Integrated Circuit (MSI): Each integrated circuit contains 100 to 1000 electronic components and is commonly used to implement complex logic functions such as counters and data selectors.

3. Large scale integrated circuit (LSI): Each integrated circuit contains 1000 to 10000 electronic components, commonly used to implement more complex functions such as microprocessors, memory, etc.

4. Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit (VLSI): Each integrated circuit contains over 10000 electronic components and is commonly used to implement advanced functions such as central processing units, graphics processors, etc.

In addition, according to the implementation method of the circuit, integrated circuits can also be divided into two categories: analog integrated circuits and digital integrated circuits.

Analog integrated circuits, as the name suggests, are integrated circuits used to process analog signals, including linear integrated circuits and nonlinear integrated circuits. Common analog integrated circuits include amplifiers, filters, oscillators, etc. diode
