Which integrated circuits were used in the third generation of computers?
Both hybrid integrated circuits and monolithic integrated circuits were used in third generation computers. These integrated circuits contained from 4 to 100 transistors per integrated circuit. The image above shows hybrid integrated circuits of the type used in the IBM System 360 line of computers.
True or false the first computers to use the integrated circuit were known as third-generation computers?
True. Some of these computers used hybrid integrated circuits (e.g. IBM System/360) and some used monolithic integrated circuits (e.g. Apollo Guidance Computer, Minuteman II Guidance Computer)
What are multiple transistors integrated into a single module used to store and process bits and bytes in todays computers?
integrated circuits
What is an integrated ciruit used for?
Integrated circuits are more commonly referred to as "microchips." They are used in everything from cellphones, personal computers, and even televisions.
What two technologies were used in computers before integrated circuits were used?
Tubes, magnetic logic, and transistors.
Which generation of computers used integrated circuits?
That is most commonly identified as the 3rd generation.
What elements were used to process data in each of the four generations of computers?
The first generation used vacuum tubes, the second used transistors, the third used integrated circuits, and the fourth used integrated circuits on a single computer chip.
What element is used as a semi-conductor in the making of micro-chips in computers?
Silicon is the most commonly used element as a semiconductor in the making of microchips in computers. Silicon's unique properties make it an ideal material for constructing integrated circuits due to its ability to conduct electricity under certain conditions.
How many valves are on modern computers?
None. Valves are not used. Integrated circuits are now the mainstay of most electronic devices.
Which element is commonly used in the making of solid-state integrated circuits?
Silicon is the element most commonly used in the fabrication of solid-state integrated circuits. Its semiconductor properties allow for effective control of electrical conductivity, making it ideal for building transistors and other electronic components. Silicon's abundance and well-understood processing techniques further enhance its suitability for integrated circuit manufacturing.
What is the meaning of 'generation' in computers?
The word "generation" as used with respect to computers refers to the type of electronic components used to make computers of the specified generation.One common ordering of the computer generations is as follows:first generation, 1942 to 1958 - vacuum tubessecond generation 1957 to 1967 - discrete transistors (usually germanium transistors)third generation - 1964 to present time - integrated circuits (usually silicon monolithic integrated circuits, but some were hybrid integrated circuits)fourth generation - 1971 to present time - microprocessor integrated circuitsfifth generation - there is lots of debate on the definition of this (and possible following) generation as well as when (or even if) it began
Where the first integrated circuits used?
in America
