[sdiy] old datasheet "schematics" vs modern "simplified schematics"

[Dan Snazelle]

ive been looking into some old chips for BJT design ideas

mostly fairchild and RCA

one interesting thing
(maybe due to the simpler nature of chips then OR because of a different kind of marketing attitude)  it seems they used to publish the full circuit inside that was inside the chip.


now i may be wrong about this
but there is a key grammatical difference in old databooks vs. newer ones

" schematic" vs " simplified schematic"

one implies that you are seeing a working circuit


the other that it is missing much


 just wondering if anyone knows why this changed?

thnx
