Hi Robert, >I went to school at the Univ. of Iillinois with Jack Kilby and he >claimed the inventon rights to the IC for TI.
"Ole Bob" Yes, Jack did invent the concept of the integrated circuit, and the main application was digital logic. Bob Widlar put the first analog op amp on silicon. With the tremendous process variations at the time, this was considered impossible. Widlar found ways to place resistors next to each other so they would match, and made circuits that could function over a very wide range in values. I'll bet I can drink a mug of beer faster than you can throw it over your shoulder:) Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
