Monolithic technology is making ever deeper inroads into low-level analog signal conditioning: now it is less necessary than ever for the instrumentation and systems engineer ot be concerned with details of circuit design. The make-vs.-by decision continues to be tilted towards "buy" by the evolution of new generations of cost-effective monolithic signal-conditioning products. Read full article
