Components: Microprocessors galore: Advances in logic, memories, microprocessors, and linear ICs give new capabilities to device users

Progress in device and component technologies continued through 1975. While no one device or component type dominated, advances were more dynamic in some areas than others. For example, digital ICs such as logic and memory devices advanced in performance at a faster rate than many linear ICs, as has been traditional due to the greater demand for digital ICs. High-lights of these developments follow:
