Classification of integrated circuits

Integrated circuits can be divided into three categories: analog integrated circuits, digital integrated circuits and digital/analog hybrid integrated circuits according to their function and structure. Analog integrated circuits, also known as linear circuits, are used to generate, amplify and process a variety of analog signals (refers to signals whose amplitude changes with the time frontier). For example, the audio signal of a semiconductor radio, the tape signal of a tape recorder, etc.), and the input signal is proportional to the output signal. Digital integrated circuits are used to generate, amplify and process various digital signals (signals that are discretized in time and amplitude). Such as VCD, DVD playback of audio signals and video signals). 

(2) According to the production process classification Integrated circuits according to the production process can be divided into semiconductor integrated circuits and thin film integrated circuits. Membrane integrated circuits are classified into thick film integrated circuits and thin film integrated circuits. 

Integrated circuits can be divided into small scale integrated circuits, medium scale integrated circuits, large scale integrated circuits, very large scale integrated circuits, very large scale integrated circuits and huge scale integrated circuits according to the different levels of integration.
