Why an IC is not working?

Best Answer

This question would be easier to answer if the type of IC was specified.

But generally, there are 3 reasons an IC will not work:

1. It is broken. If a large voltage or shock has been applied to it, or the power hooked up to it in reverse, an IC will usually burn out. This may or may not be accompanied with the release of the Magic Blue Smoke. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_smoke)
2. Your power supply is dead or not outputting enough voltage. If the voltage supplied is too low for the IC to use, it may not function properly or at all. Check the power supply.
3. The circuit the IC is in is broken. Check all the wires/solder points. Test the IC in a known working circuit.

A circuit works based on a closed circuit(a complete circuit)and electricity supply.If without anyone of them,a circuit is not able to work.

The role of the Deputy Incident Commander?

The primary reason to have a Deputy IC is to perform IC functions as relief for the IC, perhaps as preparation for becoming IC in the next operational period. The Deputy IC will also carry out specific IC tasks as requested by the IC and may represent an assisting agency with shared jurisdiction or about to receive jurisdiction from the IC, as the incident changes mode. For example, a fire IC may select a deputy from the Fire Marshal's Office (or other investigators) when the fire appears to be of suspicious origins. The Deputy IC may be instructed to oversee IC functions (during fire suppression) related to preserving evidence or providing access for investigators while firefighters are working for their own objectives. Once the fire is out and the fire operations terminated, the Deputy IC may easily transition to become the IC for the remainder of the investigation portion of the incident, with law enforcement operations.
