Whois & Analysis for onsemi.com

An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material, normally silicon.

The integration of large numbers of tiny transistors into a small chip resulted in circuits that are orders of magnitude smaller, cheaper, and faster than those constructed of discrete electronic components.

The IC's mass production capability, reliability and building-block approach to circuit design ensured the rapid adoption of standardized ICs in place of designs using discrete transistors.

ICs are now used in virtually all electronic equipment and have revolutionized the world of electronics.

Computers, mobile phones, and other digital home appliances are now inextricable parts of the structure of modern societies, made possible by the small size and low cost of ICs.

Military communications or military signals involve all aspects of communications, or conveyance of information, by armed forces.

Military communications span from pre-history to the present.

The earliest military communications were delivered by humans on foot.

Later, communications progressed to visual and audible signals, and then advanced into the electronic age.

Examples from Jane's Military Communications include text, audio, facsimile, tactical ground-based communications, terrestrial microwave, tropospheric scatter, naval, satellite communications systems and equipment, surveillance and signal analysis, encryption and security and direction-finding and jamming.

Logic (from the), originally meaning "the word" or "what is spoken" (but coming to mean "thought" or "reason"), is generally held to consist of the systematic study of the form of arguments.

A valid argument is one where there is a specific relation of logical support between the assumptions of the argument and its conclusion.

(In ordinary discourse, the conclusion of such an argument may be signified by words like therefore, hence, ergo and so on).

A gadget is a small tool such as a machine that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty.

Gadgets are sometimes referred to as gizmos.

Gizmos in particular are a bit different from gadgets.

Gadgets in particular are small tools powered by electronic principles (a circuit board).
