| An integrated circuit (IC) is an electronic component which typically packages a collection of transistors, diodes and resistors to perform some useful function. There are numerous types with many package configurations. You may be familiar with fairly simple ones like Operation Amplifiers (Op Amps) or "555" timers, or complex types like microprocessors. Modern ICs are generally encased in a square/rectangular plactic package with many leads/pins. Pins are commonly spaced on a 0.1"(2.54mm) grid which will fit the holes on stripboard and breadboards. This packaging is usually referred to as Through Hole mounting as the pins normally go through holes in a PCB. Newer ICs can be found with much closer pin spacings and very small packages, usually designed for surface mounting on PCBs. | An integrated circuit (IC) is an electronic component which typically packages a collection of transistors, diodes and resistors to perform some useful function.

| ==In Circuit Serial Programming.== | In Circuit Serial Programming is a means whereby microprocessors (PICs and other types), may be programmed while mounted in the circuit they are intended to control. There are no standard physical designs/pinouts used for in-circuit programming. Many MERG modules using PIC microprocessors are provided with an ICSP connector with a pinout for the popular PICKIT programmer.\\ |
