Is maintainability keeping up with electronics
Abstract
The effects of current developments in electronics on circuit maintainability are examined. New developments affecting maintainability are related to the growing importance of digital systems, the use of complex integrated circuits, the employment of plug-in printed circuit cards and the growing complexity of these cards, improvements in gate and circuit reliability, and the use of functional packaging. Difficulties of circuit diagnostics are considered and approaches for solving the diagnostics problem are discussed.
