advantages and disadvantages of ICs.
Advantages of ICs: 1.The physical size of an IC is extremely small (generally thousand times smaller) than that of discrete circuits. 2. The weight of an IC is very less as compared to that of equivalent discrete circuits. 3. The reduction in power consumption is achieved due to extremely small size of IC. 4. Interconnection errors are non-existent in practice
Disadvantages of ICs: 1. It is not possible to directly fabricate inductors. 2. The initial cost to be incurred is high 3. Power dissipation is limited. 4. ICs are very delicate and need extra care while handling
