They were actualyl LH series analog buffer amps - two grades of
"Fast"
and
"Damn Fast". These were marketted for
several years before some
do-gooder
religious type complained, and the National Semi
people took it out.
Bob
Pease has a story about it.
The 'Damn Fast" datasheets exist - I have several editions in my
databook
library.
And for the time, those buffers were truely DAMN FAST.
Yes, they were. I have the "Damn Fast" datasheets, and at least one
databook which includes them. I have some of the parts too -- I once
built a scope probe out of them. I think it was one of the application
notes.
