Hello All,
Hold the tomatoes, just curious. Sometimes it is really important to,
for example, continuously watch a current in a very low voltage
application. With any kind of modern transistor that will eat 0.6V or
more. Germanium was happy with 0.2V. Much better when there is only 1.5V
supply to begin with. Chips such as LV rail-to-rail are often totally
cost prohibitive.
So, is there a low cost source of new Germanium transistors? Kind of
like the Russian factory Svetlana that still makes tubes?
