What is the effect on the circuit if we add a capactior in parallel with another capacitor?

Capacitors in parallel simply add up, similar to resistors in series... CTOTAL = sumI=1-N (CI) Capacitors in series work like resistors in parallel... CTOTAL = 1 / sumI=1-N (1 / CI)


Integrated circuit?

The image shows the first integrated circuit. It was handmade by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in 1958 using a bar of germanium in which he formed transistors and resistors by diffusion then wired these components into a circuit by hand.


What is a monolithic IC?

A monolithic IC is a type of "integrated circuit" electronic device (commonly referred to as a "chip") that contains active and passive devices (transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors) that are made in and on the surface of a single piece of a single crystal semiconductor, such as a Silicon (Si) wafer. A process called "planar technology" must be used in the single block (monolith), and be interconnected to the insulating layer over the same body of the semiconductor to produce a solid integral monolithic-IC. If the devices are interconnected by bonding wires dangling above the chip, is not a monolithic-IC; it is a hybrid-IC. In monolithic-ICs, the devices (transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors) are fabricated on the same single chip of a single Silicon crystal by PLANAR technology, and have ISOLATED p-n junctions, and have interconnections adherent to the insulator layers without shorting to the adjacent areas and each other.

Why are feedback amplifiers used?

The point of feedback is to make the performance of a circuit depend on fixed components like resistors and capacitors, which can be made very accurately, and not on transistors which can not be made with highly accurate parameters.
