Q1:

A classification of ICs with complexities of 12 to 100 equivalent gates on a chip is known as ________.

A SSI

B MSI

C LSI

D VLSI

ANS:B - MSI

Integrated circuits are often classified by the number of transistors and other electronic components they contain:

SSI (small-scale integration): Up to 100 electronic components per chip.

MSI (medium-scale integration): From 100 to 3, 000 electronic components per chip.

LSI (large-scale integration): From 3, 000 to 100, 000 electronic components per chip.

VLSI (very large-scale integration): From 100, 000 to 1, 000, 000 electronic components per chip.

ULSI (ultra large-scale integration): More than 1 million electronic components per chip.
