Abstract :
Summary form only given. Present day particle physics experiments are large systems imposing stringent requirements on electronics in terms of timing, data reduction, radiation tolerance, and speed-power-noise performance. Many modern technologies were successfully adopted to meet all these requirements: custom integrated circuit design in commercial deep submicron CMOS technology, optical data transmission, field programmable gate arrays, etc... The paper will give a system overview through some examples. The emphasis will be on practical experience in the construction of the LHC experiments to try to point out some of the trends and challenges ahead.
