integrated circuit

April 17, 2022 by Rick Howington Leave a Comment

The computations for a journey to the moon were massive. And in the 1060s, the computers required for these calculations were just as massive. The Apollo program required shrinking these machines for space travel. And one way to do this was the miniaturization of the electronics. Thus, the mother of all inventions, necessity, gave birth to the integrated circuit. A conventional electronic circuit was individual components such as resistors and capacitors connected with copper wire. It was large and bulky. An integrated circuit or an IC is a self-contained small chip of semiconductor material. It produces the same functions as a traditional circuit but is more efficient in size and energy usage. It was a perfect fit for space travel.
