Cursed schematic symbol of the week: carcinised NPN
2 years ago by WaterWaiver to c/electronics
You can do all sorts of nifty things when you're designing silicon. Including this abomination.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation
Source: datasheet for LM161, a high speed (20ns delay) moderately high voltage (30V) comparator. I'm going to try and make a discrete version of some bits of it and see how well it works. Maybe not this triple-emitter NPN though, I draw the line at components that require livestock sacrifices.
I don't want my children influenced by this. "Dad why does your transistor only have 3 legs?". And I had only just rid the house of dual-gate mosfets too!

1: Be nice.
2: Be on-topic (eg: Electronic, not electrical).
3: No commercial stuff, buying, selling or valuations.
4: No circuit design repair, tools or component use / sourcing questions. Those go in ASKElectronics.

How can it be, it's emitting more than it's collecting. Unnatural.
