riflettendo su quello che ha scritto
mi e' venuto in mente Bob Malter “The Lightning Empiricist”
Nell'antologia "Analog Circuit Design - Art Science and Personalities"
https://lib.lhu.edu.vn/ViewFile/10608/A ... Design.pdf
Bob Pease scrive "The Story of the P2" - P2-The First
Successful Solid-state Operational
Amplifier with Picoampere Input Currents
Riporto dal testo (a cominciare da pag 67 del PDF linkato):
- che non si e' mai capito se nemmeno il progettista Bob Malter ne avesse mai capito completamente il funzionamento: "That was the trick that Bob Malter had
accidentally built into the P2, and that he had figured out how to take advantage of.
To this day, I am not sure if Bob Malter knew exactly what a tiger he had by the tail.
- che la concorrenza non e' mai riuscita a copiare:"l h e story I heard (it might be partly apocryphal, but most of it probably has a lot of
truth) WiIS that Burr Brown hired a bright engineer, handed him a P2 and told him,
“Figure O L Ih~o w they do this-figure out how we can do it, too.” In a few days the
engineer had dismantled the circuit, traced it out, and had drawn up the schematic.
Then he anilyzed it and began experiments to be able to meet or exceed the P2’s
performance. But he couldn’t get it to work well. He tried every approach, but he
never could. After a full year. Burr Brown gave up and put the engineer to work on
some other project"
- che era talmente critico nel montaggio da avere una difettosita' legata al ciclo mestruale delle donne che lo assemblavano: "According to some of Bob's friends, Bob said that he could tell when the women assembling the P2s were menstruating. He thought it was the amount of sweat that
would cause corrosion or leaky printed-circuit boards. He could check out failure
rates versus serial numbers versus the initials of the assembler, and the yield would
go up and down every 28 days"
e molto altro
- ma con cui la ditta costruttrice fece un sacco di soldi: "and there’s the company that makes a big f- - - - - - profit"

che e` dalle parti di 5V/7mA=1.4mS. Si puo` fare un ampli di transconduttanza "vero" con lo stesso transistor, facendo attenzione alla dinamica, e quindi togliersi dai piedi buona parte delle variazioni del beta di T2.
