Microcomputers and Systems Design. Electronic Systems Can Have Built-in Computational and Self Test Capabilities.

摘要

As the result of the continuing advances in microelectronics, the capability of today's minicomputer will soon be able to reside on a single chip. When this projection grows into reality, computers will no longer be needed as separate systems. Rather, individual application oriented electronic systems will have built-in computational capabilities, from the component level to the highest man-machine levels. They will be capable of self tests and repair and will be reconfigurable. As the state of the art advances, system design itself will become programmable. (Author)
