Circuit Contest - Last Day

No. I already know what I need to do, and have a good portion of it working as desired.

I brought it up because Bloggs suggested "invention" rather than "analysis".

Nope.

Of course I'm better than YOU ;-)

Certainly not to you. You couldn't find your asshole with both hands and a mirror ;-)

He needs to find a new doctor, can't seem to get his psycho meds balanced. Maybe he needs to visit Genome ?:-)

Hello Jim,

Ok, but since yesterday was the "last day", who won?

Regards, Joerg

You told us key noise makers to stay out of it, that the contest was for those who were still challenged by such things, like students. I think you could have upped the quality of the contest by asking how does this circuit improve or achieve this or that performance, instead of asking for basic functionality like differential receiver, opamp, and that double buffered thing with what is probably shoot thru control.

I have to admit that off-the-top of my head I would have no clue- but your question does jog my memory of the king of bandgaps, a Venezuelan at GT. I would check his literature for a start if not a complete solution.

Okay- I took it to be a receiver with that RS485-like notation INN and INP, threw me- it is a comparator then.

--- As far as you're concerned, that's what it's all about, isn't it?

That is, you can't accept that people with opinions different from yours can be your peers, they _have_ to be inferior in order to keep your ego safe.

"The great one"? Gimme a break...

I can see the mirrors, but where is the smoke?

It had a lot of square roots in it? That's bound to be the most interesting.

Bwahahahahaha ;-)

I absolutely despise "artfully designed" websites. I'm an engineer, not a fairy ;-)

I mistakenly thought I was dealing with engineers ;-)

See Woodgate's response.

I never let it out. When I get around to posting the analysis you'll see why ;-)

All three circuits are portions of a HUGE chip, the largest I've ever designed, 10.0mm X 10.5mm

I thought I had mentioned that before.
