Is PCBA an integrated circuit (IC)

PCBA is not an integrated circuit, PCBA and integrated circuits are very different, PCBA is a motherboard, above the layout of a lot of electronic components, and integrated circuit is just an electronic PCBA board components.

First, what is PCBA?

PCBA English translation for the PCB Assembly, PCBA refers to the PCB bare board SMT chip processing, DIP plug-in processing, PCB assembly to complete the entire process. PCBA is just a semi-finished products, such as the computer motherboard, generally need to add a shell and other packaging to become a finished product.

Second, what is the integrated circuit

Integrated circuits, also known as chips or ICs. An integrated circuit is a component that contains transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc., with the desired circuit function, and is a component on the PCBA.

Third, PCBA and the difference between integrated circuits

The integrated circuit is only an electronic component, distributed on the PCBA board, can only achieve a single function.

PCBA is a piece of electrical function can achieve a finished circuit board, covered with a variety of electronic components, and then into the shell packaging can be used directly to the finished product.

In general, the integrated circuit is an individual, printed circuit board assembly is a whole, belonging to an integral part of PCBA, they are not the same thing.
