What is the difference between a discrete circuit and integrated circuit?

∙ 10y ago
- Discrete components - each component: vacuum tube, transistor, resistor, capacitor, etc. is individually packaged, then connected together to make a circuit.
- Integrated circuit - multiple components are packaged together making a complete circuit as one integrated device. Modern ICs frequently contain hundreds of billions of components in one device.
Discrete component circuitry is bulkier than ICs because more packaging is involved.

∙ 10y agoA discrete circuit is one in which the individual components are discrete as in physically seperate.
Anything you usually build on a bradboard is discrete. Integrated circuits are the silicon chips you see around where many discrete elements are fabricated on a single silicon wafer.

Is discrete is a type of resistor?
A discrete component is one where the package contains only one circuit element. The opposite is an "integrated circuit" (aka a "silicon chip" or "chip") where a package contains many circuit elements. It's not that "discrete" is a type of resistor, it's that a resistor is a type of discrete component.
What is the difference between a circuit board and an intergrated circuit?
A cicuit board is a board made of plastic and metal interconnections where the various electronic devices are assembled in discrete form to make up the circuit.In an integrated circuit a semiconductor chip is so processed such that the various electronic devices and components are directly grown on it.
Why will one consider an operational amplifier as an ic circuit?
Operational amplifiers are usually bought as an i.c., but they may be constructed with discrete compenents too. By the way, since i.c. means integrated circuit, your "ic circuit" reads as "integrated circuit circuit".

Is OP-amp a discrete component?
An opamp is a circuit of many components. It may either be built of many discrete components or be a single integrated component.
What is difference between the ic555 and ic741?
The 555 is a timer integrated circuit. The 741 is an operational amplifier (op amp) integrated circuit. Both are some of the most popular 8 pin integrated circuits ever produced.
How does read-out integrated circuit works?
Read out integrated circuit refers to integrated circuit specifically used for reading detectors of a particular type. These are used in detectors where the sensitivity is very low and using a discrete circuit may not be useful as noise may be large enough to cover up whole signal.
What is the difference between discrete circuits and analog circuits?
Basically an analog circuit is any circuit which uses the voltage (or current) level to deliver information (say.. a sine wave or an audio output). In contrast a digital circuit would only use a high and a low voltages (square wave, binary data transfer etc). Discrete circuits are circuits only using basic components (resistors, transistors, capacitors etc) instead of integrated circuit packages. A lot of discrete circuits are analog but they don't have to be. And a lot of ICs are digital but they don't have to be...
What is the difference between a 54AS139 and a 74As139 integrated circuit?
The 54 series are military specification versions with a greater operating temperature range.
What does pin 1 do in an integrated circuit?
That will depend on the integrated circuit.
How does an integrated circuit work?
Integrated circuit also called as chips or microchips is a miniaturized electronic circuit made in a thin substrate of semiconductor materials. It consists mainly of semiconductors and passive components of the circuit.
What invention decreased computer expense and size?
Many inventions did, too many to list. However the two most important were probably the discrete transistor and the integrated circuit.
