Dieter W. Bergman (1931–2014) was an American electrical engineer.
Biography[edit]
Bergman was born in 1931. His family emigrated to the United States when he was at a young age.[1]
Bergman began his career in 1956 as a designer at Philco Ford in Philadelphia.[2][3] His work in electronic circuit design led him to participate in meetings of the Institute of Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits (IPC) in the 1960s.[2]
In 1974, Bergman was appointed as the first technical director of IPC by executive director Ray Pritchard.[2][3] During his tenure, IPC developed into an influential organization in the realm of technical standards for electronic circuits.[2] Bergman's work included co-authoring standards related to electronic circuit board design, land patterns, and dimensioning.[2] He also co-founded the IPC Designers Council and contributed to IPC's global standards development.[2][3]
Bergman's contributions to the field were recognized with the IPC President's Award in 1968, and he was inducted into the IPC Hall of Fame in 1985.[2][3] In 2012, the PCB Design Hall of Fame was named after him by PCD&F.[2][3]
Dieter Bergman IPC Fellowship Award at IPC is named after him.[4]
