ACC 3511 Case #3 Case 3: INSEL INC Insel Inc. The controller of Insel’s newly formed Motorised Integrated Circuit (MIC) Division‚ Mustapha Bakri‚ sensed that he and his staff could play a significant part in determining the success of what promised to be an important new business. Not only was his division competing in a new and dynamic market with unique requirements but it also was radically changing the way in which it delivered its product. These circumstances led Mustapha to reassess the most

Kilby. In 1974 a basic patent for miniature electronic calculators has been issued to Texas Instruments Incorporated. The patent is for personal-sized‚ battery-operated calculators which have their main electronic circuitry in a single integrated semiconductor circuit array‚ such as the popular "one-chip" calculators. | | This represents another in a series of landmark developments at Texas Instruments directly relating to miniature calculators. In 1958‚ Texas Instruments

An Introduction to Digital Logic Families What is a Logic Family? In Digital Designs‚ our primary aim is to create an Integrated Circuit (IC). A Circuit configuration or arrangement of the circuit elements in a special manner will result in a particular Logic Family. What are the advantages of creating different Logic Families? Electrical Characteristics of the IC will be identical. In other words‚ the different parameters like Noise Margin‚ Fan In‚ Fan Out etc will be identical.

conductivity of semiconductors can be increased dramatically‚ reaching levels that may approach those of metals. The physical properties of semiconductors are studied in solid-state physics. (Encarta 2) Silicon is the raw material most often used in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. It is the second most abundant substance on the earth. It is extracted from rocks and common beach sand and put through an exhaustive purification process. In this form‚ silicon is the purist industrial substance that man produces

often think about the people that made this technology possible. Throughout history‚ there have been only a handful of persons that have truly altered the way in which a society operates and lives. Jack Kilby ’s invention of the monolithic integrated circuit‚ or better known as the microchip‚ gave birth to a new technological field of modern microelectronics. His ingenious work at Texas Instruments over forty-five years ago‚ was a breakthrough that has led to the "sophisticated high-speed computers

The Five Generations of Computing The history of computer development is often referred to in terms of five distinct eras‚ or "generations" of computing devices. Each generation of computer is characterized by a major technological development that fundamentally changed the way computers operate‚ resulting in increasingly smaller‚ cheaper‚ more powerful and more efficient and reliable devices. The First Generation: 1946 to 1955 The first computers used vacuum tubes for circuitry‚ magnetic drums
