Operational Amplifier (OP Amp) � OP Amps are the most commonly used type of linear
IC. It is a type of amplifier with a high gain, which means that the ratio of the
output to input voltage is in high percentage. Aside from being amplifiers, OP
Amps can also be used as voltage comparators.
Logic IC � This type of integrated circuit is the commonly used of all digital
ICs. These ICs contain gates which correspond to the logic functions of AND, OR,
NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR, and NOT. Other types of digital ICs are created by creating
different combinations of these logic gates.
Decoder � Decoder ICs are kinds of digital ICs that are capable of converting
binary information to a format which is understandable by humans. For example, the
binary digit 0101 can be decoded by a decoder IC and be displayed as a numeric
number 5 in a 7-segment display component.
Adder/Subtractor � These are digital ICs that perform the basic operation of
binary addition and subtraction. There are no ICs which can perform multiplication
and division operations but these mathematical functions can be performed by using
Adder and Subtractor ICs along with other ICs like counters.
Flip-flop � Flip-flops are the basic elements of a sequential logic circuit. They
are digital devices which produces outputs in reaction to a series of inputs.
Unlike logic gates, they do not have predetermined output values because their
output depends on the sequence of inputs. Flip-flops are contained in different IC
packages.
Clocks/Timers � These are ICs which are capable of producing signals which could
serve as inputs to other ICs or gates. Clock signals are commonly used to
synchronize the operations of a sequential circuit.
