Drone followed up on our App note: Thermocouple measurement post:
Yes, this app note is written by the venerable Jim Williams who passed away last year. Mr. Williams was the author of many famous application notes at both National Semiconductor (now owned by Texas Instruments) and Linear Technology Corp. (LTC). There is a very nice site revisiting his work here:
LTC has a tribute here
LTC’s collection of his work is here
EDN’s collection of Jim’s articles
And of-course the Wikipedia page
These link probably belong in a post of their own…

I hope he has got those lumps on his arm checked out.
I don’t think that matters, now.
Wow, Jim was an incredibly smart man. It would have been interesting, if not way over my head, to talk with him.
