About the Author
Yannis Tsividis received the B.S. degree from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, in 1972, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1973 and 1976, respectively.
His involvement with MOS transistors began in the early seventies as part of his industrial and doctoral work. In 1975, to prove the feasibility of MOS technology for analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, he designed and built a fully integrated MOS operational amplifier and demonstrated its use in a PCM codec. Since that time, his work has focused on device and circuit issues in the merging of analog and digital circuits on the same chip.
Dr. Tsividis is Charles Batchelor Professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University in New York. He has also taught, as part of regular or visiting appointments, at the University of California, Berkeley, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the National Technical University...
