History

In May 1970 Sanyo Electronics (Japan) entered the market of portable, electronic calculators with the ICC-82D
(Integrated Circuit Calculator). At this time was these calculator the smallest portable electronic calculator with
display on the market. The used nixie tubes for a portable calculator were only a temporary solution. In January 1971
Sanyo introduced the second design of the ICC-82D with amber colored gas-discharge tubes with seven-segment
layout. The clean and robust design was based on four IC's LM8001,8002,8003,8004 with a clock speed of 0,07 MHz.
These chip-set was manufactured under license of General Instruments Corp. together with Rockwell and Texas Instruments.
They were one of the pioneers in the development of LSI circuits (Large-Scale-Integration) in MOS technology.
