The difference between single chip and chip

chip ： It is said in the encyclopedia that semiconductor components are collectively called . It is said that the chip ( The integrated circuit ), Or microcircuit 、 Microchip 、 wafer / Chip is a way to miniaturize circuit in electronics , And often made on the surface of semiconductor wafer . The aforementioned integrated circuit which makes the circuit on the surface of semiconductor chip is also called thin film integrated circuit .

Single chip microcomputer ：（Single-Chip Microcomputer） It's an integrated circuit chip , Is the use of VLSI technology with data processing capacity of the central processor CPU、 Ram RAM、 read-only memory ROM、 Varied I/O Interface and interrupt system 、 Timer / Counter and other functions （ It may also include display driver circuits 、 PWM circuit 、 Analog multiplexer 、A/D Converter and other circuits ） A small and perfect microcomputer system integrated into a silicon chip . Compared with embedded systems, there are no peripherals .

Reading ：

1、 From Baidu Encyclopedia alone , Is a general term for semiconductor component products , It is easy to produce ambiguity , Does this mean that semiconductor diodes are also chips ？  Next, let's talk about the knowledge of integrated circuits . Zhihu's explanation directly says that the chip is （ The integrated circuit ）, The search chip on Wikipedia also directly jumps to the integration road .

2、 The origin of the word chip . English translation is chip,

3、 The relationship between the two
