How Integrated Circuits Work - The Learning Circuit

Ғылым және технология

Any circuits that have more than the most basic of functions requires a little black chip known as an integrated circuit. Integrated circuits, or ICs, fall into 3 categories, analog, digital, or mixed signal.
Analog signals can vary in the entire range between the minimum and maximum signals. In the case of this graphic, any voltages between 0V and 5V.Digital signals are typically on or off, high or low, represented by a 1 or 0.
Analog ICs are most commonly used for regulation or amplification. Since sound, voice, and music signals are typically analog, they frequently make use of analog ICs.
Digital signals, being much simpler as only having two states, allow for the sending and storing of data much more easily and efficiently.
Some ICs have components that allow the conversion of analog and digital signals from one to another. These are known as mixed-signal ICs.
Follow along to learn about voltage regulators, op-amps, logic gates, 555 timers, microcontrollers, ROM, RAM, and more.

    Hello. I'm dayo. Thank you for your video It really helped me. I'm new to transistors and ics. So I'm currently on a project where I'm trying to give a radio signal to a receiver. But I'm trying to get the receiver to keep a one button tap supplying continuously instead of one tap-one output. I'm trying to get a continuous output. So i checked KZread on transistors and ics, how to use it as a switch like a relay but i don't understand how to do it. I used a relay but once power is cut off a relay will open. To simplify my question is there a way i can supply a voltage to a switch thereby closing the circuit and then when the supply is stopped the circuit is still closed instead of opening. Please do you get my question. I would love it if i got a reply quick. Thank you

    I've been thinking about this quite a bit and find that Jack Kilby, who invented the integrated circuit never got the same recognition that he deserved among great American inventors.. His invention that literally revolutionized computer science has as much significance as i.e. Graham Bell's invention of the telephone. Modest as he was I doubt he would see himself among the Greatest American inventors but to me that's where he belongs.

    I consider logic gates to be analog, because even though they deal with digital states, they don't need a clock to process analog signals. Many analog synths use logic gates as their oscillators. If it requires a a clock pulse -- it's digital, otherwise ... might as well be analog.

    Really great and helpful work! If I may make a suggestion, I am trying to learn about Electronics and I am now studying a device that touches us all everyday. Cars built after 1995 or so employ actuators that control the HVAC in the vehicle. I am working on one which is a 3 1/2" X 3" plastic box which operates dampers in the cars duct system to mix heated or chilled air to satisfy the desired air temperature. The box contains a small electric motor whose shaft is a worm that operates a five gear gear train. The last gear's shaft is connected to a damper (blend) door which modulates various air flows to achieve a desired temp in the car. This super light box also contains the electronics: 6)resistors, 2) capacitors, 1) PBR , 1) 8 pin IC # L 2722 and 1)diode . I would really appreciate and thoughts you may share regarding this actuator especially the PBR and the 8pin I.C. I can send a photo of the actuator with its cover removed if you wish. Kind Regards, Joe

    I don't think that's right for voltage regulators. My understanding and experience is that voltage regulators work by taking the voltage difference and converting it into heat. The amount of current flowing through it is regulated by the load of your circuit. If you use a 7805 on a circuit that pulls 1 amp @5v, and you put 8v into it, it will pull 1amp @8v (producing 3w of heat)... Whereas, if you pump in 18v into it, it will still pull the full 1 amp and just produce 12w of heat (and blow the regulator without appropriate cooling).
