David Issadore, a graduate student in Applied Physics from Harvard, teams up with The Museum of Science Boston to help us learn about the wild world of integrated circuits by opening up an iPod to figure out how it works.
Can anyone please clarify for me, how an integrated circuit reacts to Binary data (Which is essentially timed electricity bursts).
I mean, it's just a bunch of jumbled up metal! How can it possibly know what to do when a certain pattern of electrical signals is inputted into it? Is it magical? Does it have a brain of it's own?
For example, if I wanted to tell the IC to solve the maths problem 2+2, how in the hell does it respond to those electrical signals, and how does it know the answer?
This is exactly what I was looking for to explain integrated circuits to my 6th grade physics class. Thanks for the great, interesting, and timely resource!
