===== Description=====
Most R&D will need to be compatible with an extreme environment - e.g. high radiation, cryogenic, space. Current and future custom integration allows higher density, enhanced circuit performance, lower power consumption, lower mass, much greater radiation tolerance or cryogenic temperature performance than is possible with commercial ICs or discrete components. Designs that in the past required significant area on a printed circuit board with many types of specialized chips can potentially be replaced by a single integrated circuit and in some cases, notably pixel detectors, both sensor and readout can be fabricated as part of the same ASIC saving significantly on cost, power per channel and material burden, while improving spatial resolution and potentially replacing highly inefficient data transfer off detector with abstracted parameters.
