[[File:Mixed signal IC.jpg|thumb|Mixed signal integrated circuit: the metal areas on the right-hand side are capacitors, on top of which are large output transistors; the left-hand side is occupied by the digital logic]]
A '''mixed-signal integrated circuit''' is any [[integrated circuit]] that has both [[analog circuit]]s and [[digital circuit]]s on a single [[Die preparation|semiconductor die]].<ref>
