Abstract :
From small simple digital panel meters to large sophisticated test systems, integrated circuits continue to have a vast impact on improvements in instrument performance. The driving force behind all this has been the continuous increase in IC-device volumetric efficiency-from SSI to MSI to today´s LSI ICs.
