SECOND GENERATION
THIRD GENERATION
Integrated circuits ( IC) consists of several electronic components
like transistors,capacitors and resistors. Grown on a single chip of
silicon.
The IC technology was named small scale integration(SSI) which
contains only about 20 electronic components and later it was
named medium scale integration(MSI).

FOURTH GENERATION
Large scale integration(LSI) when it was possible to integrate over
30,000 electronic components on a single chip followed by very
large scale integration(VLSI) when it was possible to integrate
about one million electronic components.
This lead to the development of microprocessor.A microprocessor
consists all the circuits needed to perform arithmetic logic
operation and control functions, the core activities of computers on
a single chip.
