gEDA-user: Barrie Gilbert

2006-09-06 Thread Karel Kulhavy
Anyone knows what exactly is called Gilbert cell? How many transistors does it actually have? And does it have a tanh nonlinear response from one differential input or is there some kind of split current mirror used to factor this nonlinearity out and get a perfect linear analog multiplier? Is it

If you have used a Tektronix plug-in style Oscilloscope, 74XX series, you have seen some of Barrie's early design work. He designed the stroke generator that creates the data characters on the screen, e.g., the volts and time scales. It's not a raster scan that forms the characters but the
