    "abstract": "We have implemented a cost-effective design for the readout electronics of\nboth the anode wires and the cathode pads of large area proportional wire\nchambers for the HERA-B muon system based on the ASD-08 integrated circuit. To\ncontrol and monitor the large number of readout channels, we have built a\ndistributed control system based on Philips Semiconductors\u0027 I2C bus and\nmicrocontrollers. To date we have installed about 10800 channels of muon\nchambers and electronics. The average single channel noise occupancy is less\nthan 10**-5, and the detectors have been operated with target interaction rates\nas high as 70 MHz.",
