It's a partially analog circuit.
- radarsat1 3y agoYeah, exactly. So I was wondering of the same analog circuit has been built outside an IC (ie. discrete components) but according to the other response, the IC specifics are integral to the result, which is crazy and really cool.
- exDM69 3y agoThe original chip was built with 1970s NMOS semiconductor technology. While you can theoretically build the same analog circuitry using discrete N-channel MOSFETs, it will not capture the tone of the original. In particular the "operational amplifiers" used in the design were very simplistic things built out of just a handful of transistors and are very non-linear devices. It is possible to build a circuit that behaves similarly but it won't sound the same.
