CA3080 Pin #5

[Gene Zumchak]

Gerry,

    I have a tutorial on the 3080 that I have been trying to post to the
list for two days without luck.  Somehow I'll get it there.  Pin 5 is
where current is injected.  You do not apply voltage to this pin without
a resistor.  That current is modulated by the + and - inputs.  Depending
upon these inputs, the current emerges at the output and can vary from
the injected current by a factor of 1 to  -1 and everything in between.
The tutorial will make that clear.  If you can't wait for it to appear
on the list, I can send it to you directly.  Let me know.

Gene Z.
