Drivers, Receivers, TransceiversIntegrated circuits (ICs) are small, electronic devices that are made up of a combination of transistors, diodes, and other components. They are used to perform a wide variety of functions in electronic devices, such as amplifying signals, storing and processing data, and generating and transmitting signals. Interface ICs are a type of IC that are used to connect different circuits or devices together, allowing them to communicate and exchange data. Drivers, receivers, and transceivers are all types of interface ICs. Drivers are used to drive a signal onto a transmission line or other circuit, while receivers are used to receive a signal from a transmission line or other circuit. Transceivers are ICs that contain both a driver and a receiver, allowing them to transmit and receive signals. These ICs are commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices, including computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices.
