What does IC Stand for?

[macjohn]

I assume I should know this.  The debugging faq talks about checking this and I can't seem to find what IC stands for.  Thanks.

Integrated circuits like op amps for example. Often called IC chips.

Which is strange because what we refer to as a "circuit diagram" in the UK is referred to in North American parts as a "schematic" !!

I'm sure it is because a chip is a collection of pieces that make up a circuit.  Hence, a "circuit" that is "integrated" into one piece.

I'm surprised no one spells it iC...

We had all these discrete parts which we integrated into a single chip.

It is because the IC existed before Apple could turn it into a gimmick.

Oh, we have circuit diagrams also. I'm not sure when the fad started for calling them schematics. But an electrical/electronic schematic always shows circuits.

It is less distressing than boot/trunk. I'd never throw my suitcase in the boot. If not for 1960s car-rags and now that fat/tall car-flipping show we'd never expect a boot in the rear, a hood on the top, or wings on a car.

And tYres. Not complaining about your spelling. Rather: I have a tractor which was sold in both the US and the UK, with slightly different gears. I have the US gears. When trying to find service manuals, I have learned to flip real-fast to the rubber doughnut data. If it is "tYres", it won't cover my variant. (Anybody know a manual for ~~1967 Ford 4500 with "tires"?)

a chip is what the seagulls (actually silver gulls) eat, when they can.
