Deceased Name: JAMES L. BUIE , PIONEER IN ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY
Services will be today for James L. Buie, 68, a pioneer in the development of microelectronic circuitry. Buie, of Panorama City, died Friday of emphysema.
In the early 1960s, Buie invented and patented transistor-to-transistor logic, which has had widespread applications in the design of integrated circuits.
In a statement released by the TRW Corp., Buie's employer, Buie was credited with developing dielectrically isolated integrated circuits, a single-chip parallel multiplier, a single-chip analog-to-digital converter, and triple-diffused bi-polar devices.
A Los Angeles native, Buie attended Hollywood High School and received an associate's degree from Los Angeles City College in 1940.
He served in World War II as a naval aviator and rose to the rank of lieutenant commander. Buie was a recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross and four air medals.
After the war, he received a bachelor-of-science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California.
He is survived by his wife, Ione, of Panorama City; two children, John Buie, of Panorama City; and Janet Reasoner, of Tujunga; a sister, Joan Runsvold, of Northridge; four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Services will be at 11:30 a.m. today at the Little Country Chapel, Valhalla Memorial Park, North Hollywood. Burial will be at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, San Diego.
