Abstract
One of Honeywell Aerospace Division's major efforts to reduce design and production costs has been the application of standard Functional Electronic Blocks (FEB's) in systems design. The FEB's are thick-film, screen printed passive networks fired on ceramic substrates to which integrated circuits and miniature discrete components are attached. Each FEB provides a complete circuit function such as a servo amplifier, summing amplifier, or demodulation amplifier which can easily be incorporated into a system mechanization.
This paper presents the results of a program to develop the interconnection techniques needed for attachment of components to the thick-film networks and describes some of the capabilities and advantages of these Functional Electronic Blocks.
