Robert Widlar is considered the creator of the IC operational amplifier, which made millions for National. This photo was taken around 1977, judging by the LM10 circuit design at which he's looking. Widlar died on February 27, 1991. He was 53.
RAP's 1997 comments:
Maybe next year we can do a re-print of my old column on, "What's all this Widlar Stuff, Anyhow?" But I would really like to add a lot of additional stories about Widlar -- more of the things he did. Can you send me any? (rap@national.com)
