Basically a transistor is just one single component and has no function by itself, while an IC is composed of several components of various types (transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors) pre-wired into a specific circuit having a specific function that it performs.
An IC can now have as few as two components in it to hundreds of billions of components in it, soon the technology for making ICs will probably be able to put hundreds of trillions of components in one IC and the ultimate limit is still uncertain.

What is monolithic integrated circuit technology?
Monolithic integrated circuit technology is a system of electronics that are interconnected through a single piece. This single piece is a semiconductor crystal.
What is the difference between electric and electrical?
Pronunciation. An electrical circuit is the exact same as the electric system.
When was the modern radio invented?
Generally in the 20th century (1900-1999), because there were so many different kinds, including AM, FM, satellite, digital, tube (valve), transistor, integrated circuit, boombox, walkman, shortwave, AC/DC, hi-fi, stereo, quadraphonic, SCA (muzak), HDradio, digital radio mondiale, SDR (software defined radio), superheterodyne, walkie-talkie, cellular, etc.
Why biasing is needed at all?
Biasing is used in a transistor amplifier circuit in order to place the transistor as nearly as possible in the center of its linear region. Transistors have cutoff, linear, and saturation regions. Too little bias current, and you enter cutoff - Too much, and you saturate. Both conditions cause distortion when you attempt to use the transistor as an amplifier, as opposed to a switch.
Methods of reducing potential difference?
A converter having electrically heatable strips connected in an electrical circuit, and intertwined with non-electricvally heated thin metal strips, having an electrical connection, or anchor, from the electrically heatable thin metal strips to the non-electrically heated thin metal strips, whereby the potential difference between the electrically heatable strips non-electrically heatable thin metal strips is reduced.
What is basic electronic building block of a integrated circuit?
A transistor.
Function of resistor capacitor and transistor on integrated circuit?

How large is a transistor on an integrated circuit compared to a hair?
A transistor on an integrated circuit is typically around 14 nanometers in size, while a human hair is about 50,000-100,000 nanometers thick. This means that a transistor is much smaller than a human hair by several orders of magnitude.
What is difference between the ic555 and ic741?
The 555 is a timer integrated circuit. The 741 is an operational amplifier (op amp) integrated circuit. Both are some of the most popular 8 pin integrated circuits ever produced.
What is the difference in transistor between VCB and VCBO?
Vcb is what is measured in a particular circuit. Vcbo is the manufacturer's maximum for base-emitter voltage.
What is the basic building block for computer circuitry?
Integrated Circuit is not exactly correct. The circuit contains 100s and even 1000s of Transistors. The transistor is the basic building block.
What disadvantage of the transistor did the integrated circuit eliminate?
This sounds like a question from a sheet I did or actually had for HW the answer is they eliminated the heat sensitive components
What the difference between Transistor and resistor?
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals, while a resistor is an electrical component that resists the flow of current in a circuit, thereby controlling the amount of current. Transistors are active components that can amplify signals, while resistors are passive components that mainly control the current and voltage levels in a circuit.
What is the difference between a 54AS139 and a 74As139 integrated circuit?
The 54 series are military specification versions with a greater operating temperature range.
What is the application of TTL in integrated circuits?
Transistor transistor logic is one type of many different types of bipolar transistor based digital logic circuitry. It is very efficiently implemented in integrated circuit chips, needs only one power supply voltage, and operates at reasonably high speeds. Transistor transistor logic was first developed in the middle 1960s as a modification of the diode transistor logic, then in use in some digital logic integrated circuit chips but dating back to the earliest discrete bipolar transistor logic developed in the late 1950s and derived from vacuum tube point contact diode logic used in many early first generation computers. Transistor transistor logic integrated circuits dominated the computer and electronic digital controller market from the late 1960s until the middle 1980s, when metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor based microprocessors and microcontrollers began to replace it. By the early 1990s transistor transistor logic and other bipolar transistor based digital logic integrated circuits had been replaced with equivalent complementary metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor integrated circuits that were both faster and consumed less power (thus running much cooler) or with programmable logic devices of various types. In general transistor transistor logic is now considered obsolete.
What is the difference between upstream and downstream in electrical network?
Generally upstream is closer to the positive (+) voltage source. In the case of an NPN transistor upstream of the transistor is the part of the circuit from (+) to the NPN collector pin. Downstream of the transistor is from the NPN emitter pin to the ground / sink / negative (-) terminal.
What controlled the circuit?
An electronic component, such as a resistor, capacitor, transistor, or integrated circuit, usually controls the flow of current in an electrical circuit. It can either amplify, switch, or modulate the flow of electricity to achieve specific functions within the circuit.
