INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC) - IC BASIC TUTORIAL

Integrated Circuit (IC) – IC Basic Tutorial
In This IC Basic Tutorial will help you learn the basics of an IC or Integrated Circuit.

What is an IC or Integrated Circuit?


Integrated Circuit or IC is an SMD Electronic Component made up of combination of several transistors, diode, resistor, capacitors in a tiny semiconductor chip. Integrated Circuit Electronic Components or IC are of small size and very light weight. They produce excellent results at low power.

IC Basic Tutorial

I have divided this tutorial into several small parts for ease of reading and understanding. Read these sections to learn the basics of on IC and how it works.

What is an IC Made Up Of

Components used in an IC are not visible from outside. These are built in a semiconductor chip and cannot be removed. Capacitors of more than 30 PF value are not used in IC nor can inductors and Transformers be mounted inside the chip of an IC. Thousands and millions of bi-polar Transistors and CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) FET are used in making an IC.

Types of Integrated Circuit (IC)

On the basis of external structure, ICs or SMD can be classified as follows:
  1. Single in-line pin package (SIPP).
  2. Dual in-line pin package (DIPP).
  3. Quard pin package (QPP).
  4. Pin Grid Array Package (PGA).
  5. Ball Grid Array Package (BGA).
  6. Leadless Chip Carrier (LCC) Package.

BGA IC – Ball Grid Array

IC without pins are used in mobile phones which are called Ball Grid Array (BGA). To count the number of pins in a BGA IC, there is a circular point sign on a corner upside, or there is a deep circular sign. The Ball Grid Array Package is kept on the palm in a manner so that the circular sign faces the thumb downwards.

Types of Integrated Circuit (IC) on Basis of Technology

There are two types of IC on the basis of technology:
  1. Linear IC – This type of IC works on analog signal where output signal varies according to the variable input signal.
  2. Digital IC – This type of IC works on digital signal. A defined output signal is received from a defined input signal. On the basis of electronic components used, the digital IC are of various types.Examples of Digital IC – CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), DSP (Digital Signal Processor), DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory).

SURFACE MOUNT TRANSISTOR IN MOBILE PHONE & THEIR FUNCTION

Image
Surface Mount Transistor in Mobile Phone and Their Function Surface Mount Transistor or SMT Transistor is an SMD electronic component  made up of semiconductor material like silicon or germanium. There are 2 types of Surface Mount Transistors: NPN Type PNP Type Terminals of a Transistor There are three terminals of a surface mount transistor or thru-hole transistor: Ammeter (E) – Flows current on receipt of forward bias. Electrons are emitted in NPN transistors whereas PNP transistors emit ‘ holes ’. Collector (C) – The terminal of the transistor which receives the emitted electrons or holes. Collector always works or reverse bias mode. Base (B) – The layer between ammeter and collector is called base. Base displays the property of showing low resistance in ammeter junction forward bias and high in collector junction reverse bias. Facts about Transistor Indicating Character : Q or V, TR Function : Switching, Amplification, Regulating Voltage.

MOBILE PHONE AND THEIR ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS FUNCTIONS

Image
Small Parts / Electronic Components of Mobile Phone and Their  Function                               The PCB of a mobile cell phone has several small parts or electronic components. When LEARNING MOBILE REPAIRING , it is important to learn and understand how to identity these small parts or electronic components and understand their function. Identification of these small parts on the PCB OF MOBILE PHONE is easy if you know and understand some of the basic rules. It is also important to understand what to do if any of these small components is faulty. Most of these electronic components are SMD  ( SURFACE MOUNT DEVICES) They don’t have any leads like thru-hole ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS .                                                                                                              Small Parts / Electronic Components of a Mobile Phone: Identification, Faults and Function: 1. Boost Coil Its size is little bigger than coil. It is found in black colour and look
