Farina, Donald EdwardBiographical Notes
Donald “Don” E. Farina earned a B.S.E.E. from New York University in 1953. He worked at Sperry Gyroscope where he was an early user of Fairchild transistors. He joined Fairchild in 1959 as an applications engineer in co-founder Vic Grinch’s department responsible for measuring transistor parameters. Robert Norman credits Don’s work on characterizing the small geometry 2N1210 planar transistor with providing essential data for his design of the Micrologic family. Don Farina designed one of the first dedicated semiconductor RAMs, a 9-bit bipolar device built on the R & D pilot line. He joined General Microelectronics in 1963 where he worked on MOS ICs. After Philco Ford acquired GME in 1966, he founded semiconductor and systems design house Integrated Systems Technology.Publisher
