Depends on the complexity of the logic it's planned for... People talk about 'millions' of transistors to highlight the importance of ICs.

For instance in a motor driver IC, there's nothing but a H-bridge used to control the path of current across the motor. Mainly 4 transistors are involved. In advance, to avoid unnecessary current flowing possibilities, for the sake of safety logic gates (simple ones) are built in. (Logic gates are also built with transistors, just few.)

So, overall there'll be only 10 (just assume) transistors.

But in complicated ICs there could be hundreds, millions of transistors..like in a microprocessor.

What are 3 advantages of transisters?

I will assume you mean "transistors". Compared to their predecessors (vacuum tubes), transistors:* Are faster * Use less current * Use less space Note that all of these advantages get even more pronounced in the case of integrated circuits (which also contain transistors).

What are the advantages of intergrated circuits over transistors?

Integrated circuits offer several advantages over individual transistors. Firstly, integrated circuits are more compact and can contain thousands to billions of transistors in a single chip, saving space and reducing the complexity of circuit design. Secondly, integrated circuits have improved reliability and performance due to the reduced number of interconnections required. Lastly, integrated circuits are more cost-effective to manufacture in large quantities compared to individual transistors, making them more accessible for mass production.

What is a ram made of?

A RAM (Random Access Memory) module is primarily made of semiconductor materials, typically silicon, which form the integrated circuits that store data. These circuits contain millions of tiny transistors and capacitors that work together to facilitate fast data access and storage. The RAM module is also encapsulated in a printed circuit board (PCB) that connects it to the computer's motherboard. Additionally, it may include various electronic components such as resistors and connectors for improved performance and reliability.


What parts to circuits have to contain?

Circuits have to contain power supply, connections to facilitate the flow of electricity, components such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors to control the flow of electricity, and a load to use the electrical energy.
