Hans' book is out in print now. I received my copy last
week, and I must say, it's far superior to hold it in your
hand than to read it onscreen. Anyway, it's a great book,
very entertaining while informative, good illustrations,
highly recommended. Low cost as well, $21.95 or $15.99.

Well... Three things...

Now we know why the book is only $21.95 ;-)

Wonder how he "introduced the phase-locked loop concept to ICs"?
Motorola was making PLL chips designed by Ron Treadway and myself
before Hans left graduate school.

"In February of 1964 David Hilbiber of Fairchild..." discovered the
concept of what would later develop into bandgaps. Six years later
(1970) "...Bob Widlar put in the missing pieces".

Except I was making bandgaps well before I left Motorola in 1970.
Guess that'll teach me to publish instead of just going for the big
bucks ;-)

It's what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.
