Which of the following options indicate an advantage of using ICs? Correct Answer Low power consumption

Integrated circuits: An Integrated circuit is a set of electronic circuits on one small piece of semiconductor material.

The major advantages of integrated circuits are as follows:

  • More reliable because of elimination of soldered joints and need for fewer interconnections.
  • Thousands of times smaller than discrete circuits. It is because of the fabrication of various circuit elements in a single chip of semiconductor material.
  • Very small weight owing to the miniaturized circuit.
  • Very low cost because of simultaneous production of hundreds of similar circuits on a small semiconductor wafer. Owing to mass production of an IC costs as much as an individual transistor.
  • Lower power consumption because of their smaller size.
