Kevin Weddle Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Simple circuits such as the 555 IC are still being used. Microprocessors use a variety of simple circuits so as not to introduce unnecessary problems. So why do so many electronics products have so many components?

shardik1 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Some manufacturers might find it cheaper to use existing technology than to design a new chip from the ground up, a process which can be VERY lengthy and expensive. Although in my experience it seems quite the contrary. I find less components are used as of late in favor of such microprocessors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
