Classification of integrated circuits

(I) Classification of Integrated Circuits by Function Structure According to their different functions and structures, they can be divided into three categories: analog integrated circuits, digital integrated circuits, and digital/analog hybrid integrated circuits.
Analog integrated circuits, also known as linear circuits, are used to generate, amplify, and process a variety of analog signals (referring to signals whose amplitude changes over time, such as audio signals from semiconductor radios, tape signals from video recorders, etc.) whose input signals and output signals are ratio. Digital integrated circuits are used to generate, amplify, and process various digital signals (refer to signals that are discrete in time and amplitude. For example, 3G mobile phones, digital cameras, computer CPUs, digital TVs, logic control, and playback audio signals. And video signals).

(b) According to the production process classification integrated circuit according to the production process can be divided into semiconductor integrated circuits and thin film integrated circuits.
Membrane integrated circuits are also classified into thick film integrated circuits and thin film integrated circuits.

(III) According to the level of integration, the classification of integrated circuits can be classified into small scale integrated circuits (SSIs) according to the level of integration.
MSI Medium Scale Integrated circuits
LSI Large Scale Integrated circuits
VLSI Very Large Scale Integrated circuits
ULSI Ultra Large Scale Integrated circuits
GSI's huge scale integrated circuits are also called very large scale integrated circuits or Giga Scale Integration.

(D) According to the different types of conductive integrated circuits can be divided into bipolar integrated circuits and unipolar integrated circuits according to the type of conductivity, they are digital integrated circuits.
The manufacturing process of bipolar ICs is complex and consumes large power. Representative ICs are TTL, ECL, HTL, LST-TL, and STTL. The manufacturing process of a unipolar integrated circuit is simple, and the power consumption is also low, and it is easy to make a large-scale integrated circuit. The representative integrated circuits are CMOS, NMOS, PMOS, and the like.

(E) Classification by Application Circuits can be classified into applications for integrated circuits for televisions, integrated circuits for audio, integrated circuits for video players, integrated circuits for video recorders, integrated circuits for computers (microcomputers), integrated circuits for keyboards, and communications. Integrated circuits, camera integrated circuits, remote control integrated circuits, language integrated circuits, alarm integrated circuits, and various application-specific integrated circuits.

2. Audio ICs include AM/FM high-frequency circuit, stereo decoding circuit, audio preamplifier circuit, audio operation amplifier IC, audio power amplifier IC, surround sound processing IC, level drive IC, electronic volume Control ICs, Delayed Reverberation ICs, Electronic Switch ICs, etc.
3, the integrated circuit for DVD player has system control integrated circuit, video coding integrated circuit, MPEG decoding integrated circuit, audio signal processing integrated circuit, sound effect integrated circuit, RF signal processing integrated circuit, digital signal processing integrated circuit, servo integrated circuit, Motor drive integrated circuits.
4. Integrated circuits for video recorders include system control integrated circuits, servo integrated circuits, driver integrated circuits, audio processing integrated circuits, and video processing integrated circuits.

(6) According to the application fields, the integrated circuits can be divided into standard general-purpose integrated circuits and application-specific integrated circuits according to the application fields.

(seven) according to the outline of the integrated circuit according to the shape can be divided into round (metal shell transistor package type, generally suitable for high power), flat type (good stability, small size) and dual inline type.
