Four quadrant multipliers:Results of my searching

[jh.]

Curious question:

What does the 633 have that you cannot get with a RC4200,
a LM13700 or a 1496 ?
Right, I see, minimum part count. But you can solder a lot
of resistors in the time it takes to track down such a rare chip.

Just my opinion.

JH.
