Source for Bob Pease columns?
« on: November 25, 2018, 06:40:30 pm »
Does anyone have a link to, or a copy of, Bob Pease's columns in Electronic Design?  Every time I go to read one on the their web site, none of the figures work.  A couple of years ago someone posted a link to a PDF collection, but as that was *also* hosted by Electronic Design, it too, predictably, no longer works |O

I am looking for his columns on logarithmic amplifiers.

Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I saved this some time ago:

Thanks, but the column on log amps isn't in there, unfortunately.  The PDF mentioned in this thread might have it, if anyone knows how to find it now:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/free-bob-pease-on-analog-book-volume-1/

A google search turns up this page:  https://www.electronicdesign.com/author/bob-pease    with teaser links to "Bob Pease on Analog" volumes 1 and 2.  The links take you to a marketing information page (name, company, interests) with a broken submit button.  I swear, sometimes I don't know if there is a single page on that web site that actually works!  Why do they even bother?

 Does this help?

But you're right. The Bob Pease articles have disappeared from the web. I'm sad as well, he was one of my heroes.

The PDF downloads they had after sign up were shit as well. Broken and missing images, crappy layout. I have been tempted to reassemble them and republish them in human readable form but I'd probably get sued.

Edit: lots of non shit material :)

I am looking for his columns on logarithmic amplifiers.

I have the ”What’s all this logarithmic stuff, anyhow”, article.

If that is what you are looking for, PM me.

Thanks, it is, but I found it in one of the collections posted above (thanks introni.it, whoever you are!).  Shame that we are reduced to trading quasi-bootleg copies, less than a decade after the man's death.  The Internet has such a long memory, for *some* things...

This seems so funny. Half the Internet wants bootleg copies of movies and music, and on this forum we are trying to get Bob Pease articles.

I read his columns in the 1990's and loved them. I was a digital guy and his analog writings were often usually above my pay grade, but I tried to follow along. He was truly a master at his craft.
Currently developing STM8 and STM32. Past includes 6809, Z80, 8086, PIC, MIPS, PNX1302, and some 8748 and 6805. Check out my public code on github. https://github.com/unfrozen

if only someone can turn him into a ever lasting meme...

What I hate is finding the old LT articles too because of the AD takeover. I liked how they were organized on LT's website.

BobPease is one of only a very few human beings who gets his own subfolder in my computer's Electronics folder.

I've contacted EDN is the past for a Pease article. Paul Rako promptly replied and provided me a copy of what I was looking for. He has hard copies of all of Pease's articles. I don't think he works for EDN anymore but he's easy enough to get in contact with and super generous when it comes to supplying content like this.
