Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. MSI
An IC contains 50 gates each of which consists of 6 components. This means that the IC has a total of 300 components. This is a relatively small number of components, so the IC would be classified as a medium-scale integration (MSI) device.
- SSI (small-scale integration) devices have 1 to 100 gates.
- MSI (medium-scale integration) devices have 100 to 1000 gates.
- LSI (large-scale integration) devices have 1000 to 100,000 gates.
- VLSI (very-large-scale integration) devices have more than 100,000 gates.
MSI devices are typically used in applications where a moderate amount of processing power is required, such as calculators, digital watches, and video games.
