Abstract
So far we have looked in detail at types of IC families that are available and also at the building blocks that we can use for both analogue and digital circuit design. In this chapter we shall look at the various ways that the integrated circuit as a whole comes together. At this level of circuit description, there are two classifications of IC. Firstly, there are universal ICs that can be used for any number of different applications. These devices range from the individual gate packages, such as the TTL 7400 series, through to the various microprocessor chips and also memory ICs. On the other hand, there are ICs that are designed to perform a specific function, termed application specific ICs (ASICs).
