[sdiy] ODP: Buying directly from Texas Instruments

[Roman Sowa]

I almost got pre-production units, but finally they were out of stock 
too. Looks promising as next general-purpose throw-it-at-everything 
opamp. TL07xH is completely new opamp, in different technology. It's 
CMOS, while old one was bi-FET.
It somehow resembles old TL07x in specs, some are better oviously. But 
it all looks to me like this:

- hey, Frank, you ready with this month's new opamp yet?
- yeah boss, but it's kinda pointless, we design new opamps every month 
and nobody's buying them
- let me call Karen from logistics
(calling Karen now)
- well Frank, you know what she told me, they can't keep up shipping 
that old crappiest shit, TL07x, whaddaya know...
- hey, boss, I got an idea. That new opamp is pretty much the same as 
most other stuff we've made and all the specs differ not much from old 
TL07x. And it does not phase reverse! Let's call it "upgraded version", huh?
- OK, let's do this. What's next version letter available... is it H? 
Let's call it TL07xH then!
- It also uses less silicone on cheaper process, we can finally get rid 
of that manufacturing anchor, I still cannot get it why it got into 
production in the first place. Was it when your grandpa was the boss here?
- That's not relevant! And don't tell anybody it was your idea or you'll 
be fired! Looks like I'm gonna get a big bonus for this...

or something like that.
