  • Abstract
    Paul is a legendary person. I first heard about the legend who created many innovative circuits, then met the creative Paul with a passion for circuits as if they had their own life story to tell which he wanted to discover and herald. An IEEE Fellow, a prolific inventor with over one hundred patents and billions of dollars in cumulative sales of products he designed, co-designed, and contributed to with his patents or mentorship, Paul has made a tremendous impact to companies that he served as well as the industry itself as his circuit ideas have spilled into the minds of designers all over the world, most notably the Brokaw Bandgap voltage reference cell.
