Assuming you mean 'computer chips'...

'Chip' is a term used by the general public and press. To electronics engineers they are known officially as 'Integrated Circuits', although they say 'chip' as slang as well a lot of the time. See wikipedia article on how they work.

The word 'chip' comes from the fact that they are made as grids of 30 x 30 or so square ICs on a round flat silicon wafer, then broken up carefully into the square 'chips', have wires attached then are packaged/embedded in plastic cases.

Um, actually us electronics engineers also call them chips.

The chips generall used in computers are a combination of digital which and be TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic), CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), or Analog such as a voltage regulator or audio amplifier.

TTL chips at the core are transistors lumped to form active gates. These gates control the various inputs and outputs of the system. In addition, some of these chips have an automatic cycle and use a clock.

The rest is up to the programming used to control the various logic circuits.

Best way to understand this is to research Digital Electronics.

I assume you mean "chips" not "chups."
Which chip would help as there are a few.
