George Clifford Sziklai (born July 9, 1909 in Budapest , Hungary , † September 9, 1998 in Los Altos Hills , California ) was an electronics engineer working on electronic circuit technology . The Sziklai pair , which he developed in 1956, is named after him. The Sziklai pair is a form of amplifier , consisting of two bipolar transistors , which is used in integrated circuits (ICs).
George Clifford Sziklai first studied at the Loránd Eötvös University in Hungary and at the Technical University of Munich before emigrating to New York in 1930 . He worked at various electronics companies at the time, such as the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and the Westinghouse Electric before 1967.
