===== Introduction =====

An Integrated Circuit is a formal name for a component commonly termed chip or IC, that is a small electronic device made out of a semiconductor material. 

The first integrated circuit was developed in the 1950s by Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor, now a part of Schlumberger. 

Integrated circuits are used for a variety of devices, including microprocessors (CPUs), audio and video equipment, and automobiles. Integrated circuits are often classified by the number of transistors and other electronic components they contain:\\
  * **SSI** (small-scale integration): Up to 100 electronic components per chip\\
  * **MSI** (medium-scale integration): From 100 to 3,000 electronic components per chip\\
  * **LSI** (large-scale integration): From 3,000 to 100,000 electronic components per chip\\
  * **VLSI** (very large-scale integration): From 100,000 to 1,000,000 electronic components per chip\\
  * **ULSI** (ultra large-scale integration): More than 1 million electronic components per chip\\

IC are usually packaged in a plastic or ceramic case with external connector pins.Some ICs used in midibox designs:
