Professor David Comer recently gave an invited presentation to a joint meeting of the Boise Section of the IEEE Electron Devices Society and the Micron Friday Forum. The title of the presentation was “The evolution of the op amp: From vacuum tubes to weakly inverted MOSFETs.” It covered the history of the op amp dating back to the post-WWII era up to the low-power research being done by Dr. Comer in the area of ultra-low-power MOSFET op amps. In addition to those attending the lecture at the Micron site in person, it was also televised to engineers at all of Micron’s international locations. The potential worldwide audience exceeded 1000 electrical engineers.
