THAT Transistor Arrays

[David A. Schwan]

I work for an IC company (Micro Linear), three month lead time is not
unreasonable, consider 2 months for wafer fab (these are bipolar IC's so
you lose 2-3 weeks getting EPI grown after Buried Layer), 1 week wafer
sort, two weeks for off-shore assembly, and one week final test.
