Why does an ideal capacitor give rise to a rectangular cyclic . . . I indeed see nearly ideal CVs in many literature articles (CVs which are rather rectangular with rounded corners) In other figures, though, I see relative deviation from "rectangles with rounded corners," in that I see abrupt peaks, spikes, or valleys
What well-known ICs have essentially no packaging? How uncommon was my childhood discovery anyhow? Are there any well-known integrated circuits I could buy or find that I can gaze at without much hassle? (In case anyone cares, the calculator I found was a CVS-branded "scientific calculator", model 185371 )
