Wide application of microelectronic technology
In addition to computers, microelectronic technology is also widely used in other aspects. From communication satellites, military radars, information superhighways, to program-controlled telephones, mobile phones and GPS, from weather forecasting, remote sensing and telemetry, to cable TV, MP4 and DVD, from medical and health, energy and transportation, to environmental engineering, automatic production and daily life, microelectronic technology is permeated in all fields. It has become a high-tech that not only represents the level of national modernization, but also is closely related to people's life.
Modern radio and television system is one of the fields in which microelectronic technology is very useful. The integrated circuit replaces the functional circuit composed of most discrete components in color TV, which makes the TV circuit simple, stable performance, convenient maintenance and low price. Using the digital tuning technology of microelectronics technology, the TV can choose up to hundreds of channels, and greatly improve the fidelity of sound and image.
Microelectronic technology has also had a far-reaching impact on the consumer market of electronic products. Cheap, reliable, small size and light weight microelectronic products emerge one after another. Electronic technology products and microprocessors are no longer aristocrats in the world of specialized i] scientific instruments, but settled in a variety of popular products and entered the homes of ordinary people. For example, electronic toys, game consoles, learning machines and other household appliances. Even the traditional mechanical product of automobile has penetrated into microelectronic technology. The electronic engine monitoring system, automobile safety and anti-theft system and taxi meter using microelectronic technology have been widely used. Sometimes there are more than a dozen or dozens of microprocessors in modern automobile.
Microelectronic technology is developing rapidly and exciting. Its impact on our work, life and production is immeasurable.
