Editor's Column

In Summer 2008, we feature the work and impact of Dr. Eric Vittoz, including an exclusive lead article by him entitled "Electronic Watch and Low Power Circuits." I am grateful to Dr. Erik Heijne for suggesting Dr. Vittoz as a potential subject and feature author, and for recommendating experts to attest to the impact of Dr. Vittoz's career on the development and commercialization of electronic Swiss watches. As a result, we are honored to offer original papers by Christian Enz, Thomas E. Gyger, et al., Tom Lee, Christian Piguet, and Yannis Tsividis. Two more papers by Eric Heijne and Joyce Kwong and Anantha Chandrakasan will appear in full in our Fall issue
