Bob Widlar

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert John (Bob) Widlar (pronounced wide-lar; November 30, 1937 - February 27, 1991) was an American electrical engineer and a pioneer of linear (analog) integrated circuit (IC) design. Widlar invented the basic building blocks of linear ICs like the Widlar current source, the Widlar bandgap voltage reference and the Widlar output stage. From 1964 to 1970, Widlar, together with David Talbert, created the first mass-produced operational amplifier ICs (?A702, ?A709), the first integrated voltage regulator IC (LM100), the first operational amplifiers employing full internal compensation (LM101), field-effect transistors (LM101A), and super-beta transistors (LM108). Each of Widlar\'s circuits had "at least one feature which was far ahead of the crowd" and became a "product champion" in its class. They made his employers, Fairchild Semiconductor and National Semiconductor, the leaders in linear integrated circuits.
