LM13600 and CA3280

[Jim Patchell]

    The CA3280 and LM13600/13700 do the same things, but they are not
equivelent when using the diode linearization.  Also, the CA3280 does
not have a darlington buffer.  For linearization, the LM13600/13700 just
provides a pair of diodes.  You have to bias them youself.  The CA3280
has current mirrors inside the device to bias the diodes.

    Without the diode linearization, they are pretty much the same in
operation (OTA that is).
