ICbased
ICbased is a term used in electronics to describe devices, systems, or architectures that rely primarily on integrated circuits as their core technology. The phrase emphasizes that the majority of the functionality is implemented within one or more ICs rather than discrete components or mechanical subsystems. ICbased designs frequently employ components such as microcontrollers, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) configured as integrated solutions, or system-on-chip devices that integrate multiple functions on a single silicon die.
Advantages include smaller form factors, lower part count, improved manufacturability, faster time to market, and potentially
Applications span consumer electronics, automotive modules, communications equipment, industrial automation, and medical devices, where compact, reliable,
Notes: The term ICbased is descriptive rather than a formal standard or registered brand, and its interpretation
