Can you take the arduino chip out of the arduino?

I have a pulse width modulation circuit set up on my arduino.
Is there a way to take the chip out and connect it to leds?

Can anyone explain this simple concept to me?

You can take the atmega chip from the arduino and use it here is a great instructable but that would be a little costly you use a hole atmega chip for a little PWM circuit so better is to buy a attiny85 and program it using the arduino.Here is a great tutorial by randy

What does the PWM have to do? Is an Arduino chip overkill ?

Yes. There are several instructables which describe doing so, including at least one which describes how to use an arduino to initialize a chip which has not previously had the arduino bootloader installed.

Also, search Instructables for "really bare bones arduino", which will find a range of solutions going all the way down to single-chip.
