IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine - Winter 2018 - 3

editor's note

R. Jacob Baker

Welcome to the Winter 2018 Issue
of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine!

T

This issue of IEEE Solid-State Circuits
Magazine recognizes, and pays tribute to, the 65th anniversary of the
International Solid-State Circuits
Conference (ISSCC). David Pricer
contributes an article discussing the
early years of ISSCC and its transition from the National Conference on
Transistor Circuits or the Philidelphia
Conference to ISSCC. He provides an
interesting commentary on the evolution of the conference, the people
involved, and how ISSCC ended up
on the West Coast in San Francisco.
Following this article is a collage
of images from past ISSCCs that I
think you will find interesting and
