The advent of electronic switching has necessitated a considerable number of changes in the circuit design philosophy employed in the electromechanical switching art. The invention of the transistor and the refinement of other semiconductor devices have made possible new techniques. This paper discusses the philosophy of circuit design for the central control of an electronic switching system. Primary emphasis in the designs has been low cost consistent with good margins, reliability and the meeting of systems requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
