The first working CCD made with integrated circuit technology was a simple 8-bit shift register.

There were great efforts to put the logic required for a calculator into fewer and fewer integrated circuits ( chips ) and calculator electronics was one of the leading edges of semiconductor development.

Made in Japan, this was also the first calculator to use an LED display, the first hand-held calculator to use a single integrated circuit ( then proclaimed as a " calculator on a chip "), the Mostek MK6010, and the first electronic calculator to run off replaceable batteries.

All of the logic functions of a calculator had been squeezed into the first " Calculator on a chip " integrated circuits in 1971, but this was leading edge technology of the time and yields were low and costs were high.

The power consumption of the integrated circuits was also reduced, especially with the introduction of CMOS technology.

The eventual remedy for this was a return to the original store and forward approach of bridging, where the packet would be read into a buffer on the switch in its entirety, verified against its checksum and then forwarded, but using more powerful application-specific integrated circuits.
