The crystal oscillator is not built in to integrated circuits, but many devices such as microprocessors and clock generators do provide circuitry that makes it easy to add a crystal of a desired frequency. Some devices will do that with only the crystal added, while some also require small capacitors to stabilize the feedback loop.

What is the first integrated circuit?

Most people recognize Jack Kilby (of Texas Instruments) as the inventor of the Integrated Circuit. The first IC, built in 1958, was a phase-shift oscillator:


Why you use crystal oscillator in 8085 microprocessor?

The oscillator provides the basic clock of a microcontroller to be able to execute the instructions in a stable, periodic way. It is often used for other peripherals too, like timer, UART, etc. as frequency base, usually divided by a clock divider for integer factors, or by PLL for rational factors. If the timing accuracy of these functions is not important, a simple RC oscillator can be used. Many microcontrollers have it internally. Accuracy is in 1...10% range. For better accuracy and temperature stability, a resonator can be used. For applications where timing is critical, a crystal can be used. Most micros have built-in oscillator, so only a crystal and two caps are needed. For those which have no built-in oscillator, external crystal oscillator module may be used. There are OCXO and TCXO modules available for very high stability needs.


What is 3rd generation of a computer?

In the conventional interpretation of "generation", these were the first computers built with integrated circuits. These integrated circuits were very primitive, typically only 2 to 4 logic gates per chip (nothing resembling microprocessors). This generation runs roughly from 1964 to 1971.


How many transistors on an integrated circuit?

ICs have been built with as few as two to as many as hundreds of billions of transistors. I believe the first germanium prototype IC built by Kilby may have had only one transistor (it was an integrated circuit not for having many transistors, but because it integrated both resistors and transistors into a single germanium crystal).


How many states do electrical circuits on an IC integrated circuit have?

Not possible to say without knowing much more. In analog circuits every signal has an infinite continuum of states. In digital circuits every signal usually has two states (some digital circuits have been built with three states), but there may be many many billions of these signals (e.g. 21,000,000,000 is an awful lot of states).
