Abstract
A valve is described. The valve includes a valve body that at least partially defining a valve envelope and a plurality of circuit substrates which is disposed within the valve envelope. At least one circuit substrates in the plurality of circuit substrates includes circuitry for controlling the valve. A circuit module is also described. A method is described for integrating circuit modules into a plurality of arrangements to provide various electronic functions and applications; these applications may be incorporated into a valve body, in support of a more complex electronic assembly, or as stand-alone electronic assemblies.
