What is an IC chip

1. Definition: the IC (integrated circuit) card was invented by the Frenchman Roland Moreno in 1970. He put the programmable IC chip in the card for the first time to make the card have more functions. "IC card" and "magnetic card" are names from a technical point of view. They cannot be confused with "credit card", "telephone card" and other cards named from an application point of view. Since the emergence of IC card, there are many names for it in the world. English names include "smart card' target='_blank' style='color:#ff0000;'>smart card", "IC card", etc; In Asia, especially in Hong Kong and Taiwan, they are often called "smart card' target='_blank' style='color:#ff0000;'>smart card", "smart card' target='_blank' style='color:#ff0000;'>smart card", "smart card' target='_blank' style='color:#ff0000;'>smart card", etc; In China, it is generally referred to as "IC card".
The appearance of IC card is a piece of plastic or PVC material, which is usually printed with various patterns, words and numbers, which is called "card base"; Embedding a specific IC chip in the fixed position of "card base" becomes what we usually call IC card. Various types of IC cards are produced according to the embedded chips.
The concept of IC card was put forward in the early 1970s. The French Bull company first created IC card products in 1976 and applied this technology to many industries such as finance, transportation, medical treatment and identity certification. It combines microelectronic technology and computer technology to improve the modernization of people's life and work.
The IC card chip has the ability to write data and store data. The contents in the IC card memory can be conditionally read by the outside as needed for internal information processing and judgment.
As soon as IC card appeared, it was widely welcomed because of its ultra-small volume, advanced integrated circuit chip technology, special confidentiality measures and the characteristics that it could not be translated and imitated.
