chips and discrete devices, discrete devices and integrated circuits
What is the relationship between the chip and the discrete device? What is the relationship between discrete devices and integrated circuits?
A chip is a general term for an integrated circuit. A discrete device refers to a device other than an integrated circuit such as a transistor, a diode, etc., which complement each other and complement each other in order to simplify the hardware structure when constructing a circuit solution. To improve circuit reliability, it is often chosen to build an integrated circuit with integrated circuits as the primary discrete component.
