What is Large-Scale Integration (LSI)?
“Large-Scale Integration” (LSI) in the mid 1970s produced tens of thousands of transistors per chip. They were attractive economically because while they cost little more to produce than SSI devices, they allowed more complex systems to be produced using smaller circuit boards, less assembly work (because of fewer separate components), and a number of other advantages. Further development led to LSI circuits being produced in large quantities for computer main memories and pocket calculators.
