How can I represent a IC using circuitikz?
I'm thinking of something like this:
I checked the whole manual and searched this information on google, but found nothing. It's hard to believe that no one ever needed this before…
One simple example of a document with regular components would be this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[symbols]{circuitikz}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz} \draw
(0,0) to[C, l=$10\micro\farad$] (0,2) -- (0,3)
to[R, l=$2.2\kilo\ohm$] (4,3) -- (4,2)
to[L, l=$12\milli\henry$, i=$i_1$] (4,0) -- (0,0)
(4,2) to[D*, *-*] (2,0) to [D*, -*] (0,2)
to[R, l=$1\kilo\ohm$] (2,2) to[cV, v=$0.3\kilo\ohm i_1$] (4,2)
(2,0) to[I, i=$1\milli\ampere$:15, -*] (2,2)
;
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}
However, I could find any way to include a IC image.

As far as I can tell, circuiTikZ generates basic bipole devices, some tripoles (thyristors, triacs, pots), quadripoles (transformers), basic two input opamps, multiport logic gates, but no IC type devices. You can, however, use tikz commands, lines, rectangular shapes, and nodes to approximate what you want. Here is an example for the picture of the IC 555 monostable timer that you posted.
