Evaluation from Dr. Jay Baliga -- E.tejera (talk) 13:42, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
1) Is the suggested wording of the Plaque Citation accurate? Yes, the wording properly describes the milestone.
2) Is the evidence presented in the proposal of sufficient substance and accuracy to support the Citation? The proposers have provided very detailed and extensive description of the milestone technology. Many companies were exploring smart power etchnology during the 1982-1985 time frame. It was generally understood that this required integration of Power devices with CMOS control circuits and Bipolar analog circuits for other functions. The work at ST Microelectronics on the BCD technology was the one of most successful efforts in the world and led to numerous application specific chips as products. They had a major impact on many domians such as automotive electronics as discussed in the milestone application.
3) Does the proposed milestone represent a significant technical achievement? The proposed milestone is a significant technical achievement worthy of recongnition. The technology has had a major impact on power management and enabled industrial, consumer and transportation sector advances that have benefited milions of consumers.
