[sdiy] IC design books as a source of discrete OTA schematics?

[Magnus Danielson]

It was not the article I was looking for, but looked good enough and was 
on the first page of what Google provided me... so I tossed it as it was 
serving the purpose with current mirrors shown as blocks and discussing 
various current mirror topology and their benefits. It's exactly what 
you need to understand what a discrete implementation would require. 
There is no large magic in OTAs, it's just a fairly straight forward 
engineering thing.

A fun project someone could be doing was a set of discrete 
implementation of the classical OTAs. :)

Cheers,
Magnus
