Thanks for the link.  Reading the archives I see this area has been well 
mined before. I had guessed arrays were not used in production because I 
assumed the CEM volumes would have been large enough to justify a custom 
design (or the analog equivalent of a digital standard cell design).

P.S.  While googling I see that Hans Camenzind founded Interdesign, and 
in addition to the 555 is responsible for the 8038.
