Differences between transistors and integrated circuits?

Exactly what characteristics distinguish a transistor from an integrated circuit?

A circuit responding to temperature is shown in figure 6. Assume the diode equation is given by Ia Ioe(qVa/kT). What is the DC operating point of the circuit at the temperature T. Also determine the small signal output swing Av, due to an incremental change in temperature AT. For this question assume Rį = 0. Heat T+AT V. DD D'B R₁ OV +AV Figure 6: Temperature sensor

QUESTION 2a) How would you characterise power bipolar devices in comparison with power MOSFETs? Illustrate your answer by providing unique features of power MOSFETs. b) Using the aid of a MOSFET diagram, explain operational features of the power MOSFET. Support your explanation using MOSFET operation as a switch. Also, illustrate the conditions needed to drive a power MOSFET in the different regions of operation. c) Discuss four (4) advantages of a bridge or half-bridge forward converter when compared with a single-ended forward converter

What makes integrated circuits distinct from transistors?
