		The integrated circuit was first conceived by a radar scientist, Geoffrey W.A. Dummer (born 1909), working for the Royal Radar Establishment of the British Ministry of Defence, and published in Washington DC on May 7, 1952.
		These digits are fed to the dialer integrated circuit 14 in serial fashion, in binary coded decimal form, on four input lines 15 from the diode matrix encoder 16, which in turn receives key depression input signals on 12 lines 17 from the 12 key pushbutton keyboard 18.
		The output of the dialer integrated circuit 14 to the relay driver 13 is a group of pulses, at a rate of 10 or 20 per second, corresponding in number to the numerical value of the corresponding depressed key of the keyboard 18.

	Integrated Circuit Development
		The disadvantage of this semi-custom approach is that the circuit is not necessarily optimized for speed and density; however, the advantage is that once the logic gates have been verified, the time and cost required to design a new function or modify an existing design is greatly reduced in comparison to the full custom approach.
		Additional test circuits that have been designed during the 1990s include a continuity test circuit that can be used to verify new types of assembly interconnect techniques, and a specialized chip to distribute clock signals to many locations within a large digital system.
