I couldn't remember whether it was the same guy who did the MC4044, or some other guy. I know that MC4044 guy did say something on the matter in the past, but I can't remember what. Something in me says the MC4044 guy did the MC1648, but some other guy did the MC4024, but maybe I have that reversed.
Michael Black, You completely missed Michael Terrell's joke...
*I'm* the "old curmudgeon" who designed the MC4024, the MC1648 AND the analog sections of the MC4044 (I actually suggested the algorithm from which the digital sections were developed... and coined the phrase "charge pump" ;-)

I buried it for five years, digging it up each spring. Each year it was little larger and a harder to put down under 12" of soil. The fourth year it cracked as I bent it and I worried if it'd be able to recover the following spring. But the surviving parts did fine and delivered the usual 100 fabulous huge sweet figs.
Then the fifth winter was brutal and we lost the tree. It came up looking OK, but rapidly succumbed to rot or something, failed to start leaves, and died. I may not have sufficiently insulated the top of the root system.
However it did host a spectacular crop of bitter melons!
Next summer we planted a new fig tree, but it had a poor type of figs that didn't finish within the season, and we gave up on that tree after the second year. So, sadly, we no longer have a fig tree.
Good stuff. But you've missed the audiophool niche. When you gonna design a chip that yields "tweetier tweets" or "woofier woofs" or a "skinn effect filter"? Sheesh! The possibilities are endless ... :-)
Look out for that. My dad had a clot down there (official disease name escapes me, but will come back as soon as I send this...) and they decided to 'bust' it with drugs. Unfortunately, clot bits then decided to move around, causing strokes and heart attacks for a few years. Was 'the beginning of the end' for him...
but, that was 20 years ago, so hopefully they know a little more now!
Now,if I can just figure out what I did to my left knee... 8-)
My MRI came back with L3-L4-L5-S1 disks are "protruding"... probably from a teenage injury ~55 years ago when I took a tumble down the side of a rocky creek bed and landed square on my tail bone :-(
Another appointment with the doctors on Tuesday.

Phlebitis was it! I think that the drugs they used then caused all kinds of clots to bust loose, hence the problem. My dad smoked, ate plenty of beef (he ran a meat packing plant...) and drank enough beer to probably cause problems.
In the case of my knee, I built me a castle-block wall along the side of the yard, one foot high by ninety feet long. Plenty of digging, liftin, etc. Probably hurt my knee kneeling on the ground placing the bottom ones...
My doc doesn't think this particular case is circulatory, based on such old-fashioned things like comparing hair growth on the toes of both legs... hair growth matches side-to-side, but right leg is just fine.
What's scary is the doc issued me a _permanently_ disabled parking tag, so I don't have to walk long distances :-(
When I had my heart attack (1998) I was given "tPA" which _dissolves_ clots.
I see a spine specialist on Tuesday.
Anyone here had bulging/protruding disk repair?
