Used to denote certain chemical compounds in which a specified chemical element has a higher oxidation number than in the equivalent compound whose name ends in the suffix -ous. For example sulphuric acid (H2SO4) has more oxygen atoms per molecule than sulphurous acid (H2SO3)
(Integrated Circuit) - An electronic circuit on a semiconductor chip The circuit includes components and connectors A semiconductor chip is usually molded in a plastic or ceramic case and has external connector pins
Integrated Circuit A silicon chip containing an electic circuit made up of components such as transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors Integrated circuits are smaller, faster and more efficient that the individual circuits used in older computers
A suffix, denoting that the element indicated enters into certain compounds with its highest valence, or with a valence relatively higher than in compounds where the name of the element ends in -ous; as, ferric, sulphuric
Integrated circuit: A complex set of electronic components and their interconnections that are etched or imprinted on a substrate, usually a silicon chip
a group of government agencies and organizations that carry out intelligence activities for the United States Government; headed by the Director of Central Intelligence
Integrated Circuit An integrated circuit (IC), sometimes called a chip or microchip, is a semiconductor wafer on which thousands or millions of tiny resistors, capacitors, and transistors are fabricated An IC can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer, counter, computer memory, or microprocessor A particular IC is categorized as either linear (analog) or digital, depending on its intended application
Integrated Circuit (Also semiconductor or chip) A semiconductor containing many electronic circuits ICs are the major building blocks of electronic systems, such as cellular phones, pagers and personal computers
A single electronic device that contains hundreds of thousands of previously separate (discrete) components The "computer on a chip" is a special purpose integrated circuit
Integrated Circuit; the interconnection of multiple electronic circuit components fabricated on a single semiconductor crystal Often used interchangeably with chip
-ic
Etymology
