Abstract:
Fifty-six years ago, I started my long journey: my master’s degree advisor, a physicist working on nuclear magnetic resonance, asked me to design a lock-in amplifier, a circuit I made with electron tubes and a 200 V supply voltage. At that time, the bipolar transistor was a novelty; it was just used in portable radio produced in 1955 by Totsuko, then renamed Sony. A couple of years after my graduation, I published my first paper on the stability of gallium arsenide amplifiers. Then, I worked on noise in electronic devices, and after ten years, I landed at analog integrated circuits, studying switched capacitor filters. Since then, several hundred articles dot my microelectronics journey. The published papers are so many that I don’t remember the details of all of them. So, I made a retrospective review of them, and I have found some that I consider curious or interesting, especially in the first period of my activity. A short description of those innovations is the background of my thinking on the scope and beauty of doing microelectronics research, a combination of discovering something new and contributing to human prosperity. Frankly, the first part of my journey was really amusing because it was like diving in the woods instead of driving on a highway.
