IEEE Solid-States Circuits Magazine - Fall 2020 - 4
EDITOR'S NOTE
R. Jacob Baker
Welcome to the Fall 2020 Issue of
IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine!
I
In this final issue of the 12th year
of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine,
we are pleased that the theme is
Women in Circuits. The guest editor,
Zeynep Toprak-Deniz, has recruited
female leaders from industry and
academia to contribute feature articles of interest to our readers (see
Zeynep's guest editorial later in this
issue for more details).
Other articles in the issue range
from tutorials to technology overviews and include the always wellreceived editorial/tutorial columns
by Marcel Pelgrom, Behzad Razavi,
and Ali Sheikholeslami. Behzad's new
column " The Analog Mind " provides
guidance on the design of a comparator, Ali's " Circuit Intuitions " column discusses the voltage regulator,
and Marcel educates us with another
" Associate Editor's View " column, this
