What Is a Switch Chip?
A switch chip is a semiconductor chip responsible for switching functions within an electronic circuit.
Unlike traditional mechanical switches, it offers small size and high-speed operation, making it widely used in various electronic devices. Its operational principle involves controlling the flow of current using semiconductor devices such as transistors. By toggling the ON/OFF state of transistors based on gate voltage, it opens and closes the current path.
Switch chips are utilized in a wide range of devices including computers, smartphones, digital cameras, and automobiles. Its components include transistors, wiring, and packaging, enabling miniaturization, high-speed operation, and improved reliability.
