Un secol de electronică în România (II): Electronica profesională
A century of electronics in Romania (II): Professional electronics

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the development of professional electronics, created to implement the technologies needed to modernize and increase the efficiency of the Romanian industry and economy, following the model of the advanced countries of the time. At the beginning, research institutes for Electrotechnics and Automation were set up, and since 1966 the first institutes and enterprises for professional electronics have been set up at MICM - the Ministry of Machine Building Industry: ICE - Institute for Electronic Research and IEMI - Enterprise of Measuring & Industrial Devices, followed by other units associated with them. In 1971, the Priority Program for Electronics and Related Fields was launched, which set development directions and electronics tasks in the first decade of application, mainly for MICM units that served the entire national economy. It should be noted that in those years departmental research was a highly applied one, including design too. The first part of the article presents the research in the field of professional electronics in ICE, finalized with prototypes produced at the main manufacturer, IEMI, and also the ICE microproduction activity. In the second part, entitled Applied Electronics, the professional electronics produced in the main units where their specific activity was strongly related to electronics is presented, namely: a) IFA / IFIN - Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering associated with FAN – Nuclear Apparatus Factory, for nuclear electronics; b) IFA and CFT – Iasi, Technical Center for magnetometry; c) ICEMENERG for power electronics; d) RomanianRadio and Television, for electronics related to reception and broadcasting processes, etc.
