Examples

By the late-1960s, designers were striving to integrate the central processing unit (CPU) functions of a computer onto a handful of MOS LSI chips, called microprocessor unit (MPU) chip sets. Source: Internet

MSI and LSI ICs increased transistor counts to hundreds, and then thousands. Source: Internet

SSI, MSI and LSI main The first integrated circuits contained only a few transistors. Source: Internet

Further development, driven by the same economic factors, led to "large-scale integration" (LSI) in the mid-1970s, with tens of thousands of transistors per chip. Source: Internet

Further improvements led to large-scale integration (LSI), i.e. systems with at least a thousand logic gates. Source: Internet

In 1973, LSI chips were not readily or cheaply available, so all the multiplexing and logic were done using chips that consisted of four two-input TTL NAND gates, which resulted in excessive power consumption. Source: Internet
