Integrated Circuit

An integrated circuit (IC) is a chip or microchip that consists of a substrate created from semiconductor material and thousands or millions of tiny electronic components installed on it. It is a complex fast-speed device with great capacity and small sizes. Its components are extremely little and the size of an entire chip is from a few square millimeters to a few square centimeters. It is the invention of the transistors in 1947 by William B. Shockley that became a base for integrated circuits.

Usually, the substrate is produced from silicon crystal, and in most modern ICs, the components are embedded into it. The electronic components are microscopic active devices like transistors and diodes, and passive devices like capacitors and resistors. The components are interconnected through a complex web of semiconductor wafers from copper, silicon, or other material that function as wires. A single semiconductor substrate is quite fragile, therefore a combination of substrates installed one on the another is often used.

Integrated circuits are used in almost every modern electronic equipment including computers, mobile phones, smartphones, televisions, radars, video processors, audio amplifiers, logic devices, toys, and other electronic devices and appliances like washing machines, toasters, microwaves, televisions, etc. They can function as amplifiers, microprocessors, microcontrollers, counters, timers, logic gates, oscillators, voltage regulators, radiofrequency decoders and encoders, memory devices, etc.

The integrated circuits differ in size, number of components per chip and their arrangement, and used technologies. There are three types of ICs: digital integrated circuits, analog integrated circuits, and mixed integrated circuits.

  • Digital integrated circuits are widely used in microprocessors, digital signal processors, computers, memory chips, and frequency counters. They operate with digital input and binary input data like 0 and 1. The programmable ICs, logic OCs, power management integrated circuits, and interface ICs also refer to this category.
  • Analog or linear integrated circuits include radio frequency integrated circuits, linear integrated circuits, and operational amplifiers that are the most frequently used. Analog integrated circuits have high voltage gain and fewer transistors in comparison to digital integrated circuits. Analog ICs are often used as audio-frequency and radio-frequency amplifiers, temperature sensor in heaters, ovens, air conditioners, switches to turn on / off devices.
  • Mixed integrated circuits combine digital, RF, and analog integrated circuits on one chip. They operate as analog to digital converters, digital to analog converters, and timing/clock ICs.

There are also used logic gates integrated circuits, switching integrated circuits, timer integrated circuits, and amplifier integrated circuits. The most complicated type of IC is a microprocessor. It includes billions of interconnected transistors and performs billions of operations and logic functions per second. It contains the CPU running a computer or the GPU used to render images and video.

Computer networks nowadays are spread all across the world. The large number of parameters, such as geographic scale or communication protocols, can divide networks. One of the most common types of networks is called local area network (LAN). It convenient to represent network examples by means of diagrams. This local area network (LAN) diagram provides an easy way to see the way the devices in a local network are interacted. The diagram uses a library containing specific symbols to represent network equipment , media and the end-user devices such as computers (PC, mac, laptop) , network printer, hubs, server and finally a modem. There are two types of network topologies: physical and logical. The current diagram represents precisely a physical type of LAN topology because it refers to the physical layout of a local network equipment.Local area network (LAN) diagram

You can see that when you rotate a group, connectors change their angle, keeping their position inside of the grouped objects. If you decide to ungroup the objects, the connectors will adjust to keep lines parallel to the edges of the sheet. The magic of ConceptDraw Arrows10’s rotating group containing connectors, makes complex diagramming simple and easy. The way to connect objects has never been easier.ConceptDraw Arrows10 Technology *

Electrical plan is a document that is developed during the first stage of the building design. This scheme is composed of conventional images or symbols of components that operate by means of electric energy. To simplify the creation of these schemes you can use house electrical plan software, which will not require a long additional training to understand how to use it. You only need to install the necessary software ant it’s libraries and you’ll have one less problem during the building projection. Any building contains a number of electrical systems, including switches, fixtures, outlets and other lightening equipment. All these should be depicted in a building electrical plans and included to general building documentation. This home electrical plan displays electrical and telecommunication devices placed to a home floor plan. On the plan, each electrical device is referenced with the proper symbol. Electrical symbols are used for universal recognition of the building plan by different persons who will be working on the construction. Not all possible electric symbols used on a certain plan, so the symbols used in the current home plan are included to a legend. The electrical home plan may be added as a separate document to a complete set of building plans.House Electrical Plan Software

In electronics, a logic gate is an idealized or physical device implementing a Boolean function; that is, it performs a logical operation on one or more logical inputs, and produces a single logical output. Depending on the context, the term may refer to an ideal logic gate, one that has for instance zero rise time and unlimited fan-out, or it may refer to a non-ideal physical device 26 libraries of the Electrical Engineering Solution of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM make your electrical diagramming simple, efficient, and effective.
