Bob Pease was an analog engineering legend and wrote columns exclusively for Electronic Design magazine until his death in 2011. He also contributed to our magazine with Bob's Mailbox, where he answered questions from young engineers.
Bob obtained a BSEE from MIT in 1961 and was a staff scientist at National Semiconductor Corp., Santa Clara, CA, for many years.
He has two author pages on the site due to site migration issues so check out the main Bob Pease article list as well.
