Ready to know some more of the commonly used electronic components just a little bit better. Get set for another round of Proactive’s Popular Components. Today’s blog focuses on integrated circuits.

If you have been reading our blog regularly, you will find the name Signetics Corporation cropping up every now and then. The name Signetics is derived from the words Signal Network Electronics. The company was formed in 1961 by a group of engineers and was the first company to focus exclusively on manufacture of integrated circuits. Today, some of the most advanced integrated circuits used in various electronics applications are Signetics products. Part number 10105NA is an integrated circuit from Signetics.

Another integrated circuit from Signetics is part number 10105nb. Integrated circuits, being fabricated on a single chip of semiconductor wafer offer several advantages over circuits made by connecting discrete components. Integrated circuits are smaller in size and more compact and thus consume less power. They can be mass produced, which pushes down production costs, making the manufacturing process more economical. And because there is no need for various interconnections and soldered joints between components, integrated circuits are more reliable as compared to discrete component circuits.

Integrated circuits are the building blocks of modern electronics. They are present in practically all day to day use electronic devices from mobile phones to computers to switches and timers. Telecommunications giant Motorola is an established global manufacturer of integrated circuits. Part number 10105p is manufactured by Motorola’s electronics components group company Freescale Semiconductors. This particular circuit uses a triple 2-3-2 input OR/NOR logic gate.

Part number 10105PC is an integrated circuit. This time around the manufacturer is Fairchild Semiconductor, another big name in the electronics industry. Fairchild Semiconductors has a wide and diverse product range that includes energy efficient power semiconductors, analog, discrete and optoelectronic devices. Here is the link to Fairchild Semiconductors product page.

Part number 10105PD and part number 10105PDS are integrated circuits from Motorola that have applications in various electronic devices. Normally integrated circuits are fabricated to effect a specific function and unlike discrete component circuits cannot support multiple functions.
