I always enjoyed reading the columns of the late Bob Peases in EDN.
When the rest of the industry seemed to be nothing but digital, Bob was
a great way to get your head cleared of all of the concentration on

More than anything, when he wrote about analog circuits, it was more
than just a twist on some binary algorithm; he made you think a bit
about circuit design.
I miss him and his floobydust.
