Well, National >does< call them 'smart transistors', and in
this context it helps to think of them that way. Using
the voltage rails to drive the output transistors still doesn't
look 'right' at first until I think of the chips as a transistor
with emitter and collector--with differential bases!

Then the pieces of the puzzle fall into place and I can start
to see the picture. I was going to object to the idea that
the chips themselves were plenty powerful, but with the
nested feedback that concept jumps ahead and looks much
more interesting!

This might be worth that headache after all.

Arigato, sensei; this slow student may be learning to think, however slowly.

Next question: does that 'transistor' actually behave something
like a discrete transistor? There may be surprises lurking within.
The "collector" and "emitter" might be very symmetrical in
behavior, unlike a discrete transistor (we hope so!), but are
they really linear?

I suspect this is a case where a CCS would be inappropriate.

This is all the time I have to puzzle over it; have to go fix supper!

With the local feedback around the chip it looks a lot like some
sort of idealized transistor, but you surmise correctly about
the potential for surprises.

The :devilr: is in the details.

don`t know

Hi,

I do not know yet, have to think it over:smash: :smash: :smash:

The magic resistor between the OPAs outputs feeds error

current into the output of the other OPA thus causing this amp

to feed reverse current into this resistor. This error current is

drawn from the supply. This in turn leads to creating this error

current out of phase at the output -> SuSy.

Your pic is indeed food for thought:devilr:
