Um, err, I’m an ex EE. Everything is analogue underneath, even digital. It’s all just shuffling electrons around.

The whole device there is made from discrete opamps. Sure there are some flip flops in there but they are analogue too! (Build one and poke it with a scope and look at the rise and fall times for the collectors)



A quick scan of the schematic and I'm not seeing flip-flops in there. There are analog muxes with the fets, but maybe I missed something?


The function generator page has a flip flop labelled. The multiplexor logic has several unlabelled examples I think.


In that case let's get rid of the term 'digital' then, since analogue must clearly and fully describe all the phenomenon.
