 Why EDIC ?????
Please recall names of some most
happening electronic equipments
around you !!!
These are plenty in number !!!
e.g. Mobile phones, laptops, desktops, IP phones
and ………..etc…. …
What is common between all these electronic
equipments?
INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

University
Why EDIC ????? ( Contd.)
Integrated Circuit (IC)

Made up of basic material (Silicon)

What is there on Silicon ?

Of course Circuits made up of a huge no. of components

May be Active as well as passive
Analog or digital
May be as high as 106 components per chip

Size only 1cm2
