The impressive progress in data rate capabilities, pattern recognition, and spatial resolution of current detectors in experimental particle physics has been possible thanks to the availability of sophisticated analog processors combined with complex digital signal processors implemented in custom made front end ASICs. The demands in terms of performance and increasingly smaller feature sizes are significant. In order to meet these instrumentation challenges, we need to educate and retain a skilled work force, as well as aggregate design tools and acquired knowledge. We propose a multifaceted initiative to ensure that these needs are met.
