Integrated circuits - Classification

HOW CAN ICs BE CLASSIFIED?

Integrated circuits (ICs) can be classified into analog, digital and mixed-signals.

- Digital ICs are further sub-categorized as logic ICs, memory chips, interface ICs, Power Management ICs, and    programmable devides.

- Analog ICs are further sub-categorized as linear ICs and RF ICs.

- Mixed-signals ICs are further sub-categorized as data acquisition ICs and clock/timing ICs.
