A chip, also commonly referred to as an integrated circuit (IC), is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece of semiconductor material, typically silicon. These chips form the core of modern electronic devices and systems, from simple gadgets to complex computing systems.
An integrated circuit, abbreviated as IC, is an electronic device consisting of many miniature transistors and other circuit elements on a single silicon chip. These components work together to perform complex functions, making ICs fundamental to modern electronic devices.
A microprocessor is an integrated circuit that houses the entire central processing unit (CPU) of a computer on a single chip, requiring only memory and input-output devices to complete the system.
