A microchip is a small semiconductor used to relay information through specific electrical characteristics. In some cases, the words microchip and integrated circuit can be interchangeable. The microchip is at the heart of many electronics known today, including computers, and even microwave ovens. If you are reading this right now, chances are very good that you have a microchip to thank for it.
