INTEGRATED CIRCUITS | |
| 26.1 To list two
advantages and two disadvantages of using integrated circuits over
conventional circuits.
|
Compare the schematic diagrams of an integrated circuit and the equivalent circuit made up of discreet components. |
|
26.2 to describe the difference between SSI (small scale integration), MSI (medium scale integration), LSI (large scale integration) and VLSI (very large scale integrated) circuits. (COM)
|
Compare the schematic diagrams of each of the four types of integrated circuits. |
|
26.3 To describe two integrated circuit (IC) packages.
|
Handle a selection of integrated circuits in different packages. |
|
26.4 To determine the specific application of a given integrated circuit. (CCT)
|
Use data sheets and cross-reference manuals to determine the use of the integrated circuit. |
| 26.5 To associate the use of an integrated circuit with the equivalent circuit created from discreet components. (CCT) |
Examine operating circuits and then identify applications for the use of integrated circuits with power output, voltage regulation and signal processing. |
