Question
Explain the differences between SSI, MSI, LSI, and VLSI.
Answer
- SI full form is "Small Scale integration".
- MSI full form is "Medium Scale integration".
- LSI full form is "Large Scale integration".
- SSI full form is "Small Scale integration".
- VLSI full form is "Very Large Scale integration".
The main differences between SSI, MSI, LSI, and VLSI is "Chip size of Integrated circuit(IC)'s".
The following table denotes the Chip sizes of IC's of SSI, MSI, LSI, and VLSI:
