iWatt/Dialog Semi engineer Keiko Kaleta enjoys the food at the 2019 Analog Aficionados party. First started by Jim Williams back in the 1980s, it is now hosted by Tim McCune of Linear Integrated Systems.

Tim has expanded sponsorship of the party so now the food served is truly amazing. The party brings together analog engineers, media people as well as marketing folks from analog- and power-centric companies. It also welcomes college professors and students.
Sponsors have been Tim McCune's company Linear Systems, as well as Texas Instruments, Maxim, Linear Tech part of Analog Devices, Planet Analog magazine as well as EDN magazine. Analog Engineer Ed Fong also contributes a hefty amount out of his own pocket every year.

Attendance is free but they do ask you register on the site so we have a name badge ready-- that way we can caption these and other pictures. See you in 2020.

Analog IC design guru Paul Henneuse from Analog Devices. A rare IC designer that does both CMOS and bipolar design. He said he loved IC design because "It is one of the few jobs where you can see mathematics made real. Living proof that a farm boy can do anything he sets his mind to.
