Bob Pease is an analog integrated circuit design expert.[1] He has designed several very successful integrated circuits, many of them in continuous production for multiple decades. These include the LM331 voltage to frequency converter, and the LM317 adjustable voltage regulator.
Pease obtained a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) degree from MIT in 1961. He started work in the early 1960s at George A. Philbrick Researches (GAP-R). GAP-R pioneered the first reasonable-cost, mass-produced op amp: the K2-W. At GAP-R, Pease developed many high-performance op amps, built with discrete solid-state components.
In 1976 Pease moved to National Semiconductor as a designer and applications engineer, advancing to staff scientist until 2009.[2] During his tenure there, he began writing a continuing popular monthly column entitled "Pease Porridge" in Electronic Design Magazine about his experiences in the world of electronic design and application.
He is the author of eight books, including "Troubleshooting Analog Circuits", and holds 21 patents.[3]
His other interests include hiking and biking in remote places, and working on his old Volkswagen Beetle, to which he often refers in his columns.[4]
