The Micrel data sheet shows an internal charge pump to create the bias supply. I am not sure now which Linear Technology parts I looked at. I did assume an external bias supply instead of a common emitter/source topology. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
