AD603 - 90 MHz Variable Gain Amplifier : weekend die-shot

Die size 2202x1737 µm.

CHANGJIANG MMBT2222A - npn BJT transistor : weekend die-shot

Unlike OnSemi MMBT2222A CHANGJIANG MMBT2222A has both smaller die size and simpler layout (BC847-like) - which should cause significantly lower hFE on high collector currents.

Die size 234x234 µm.

Linear LT1021-5 ±0.05% precision reference : weekend die-shot

Expected heavy duty digital correction? Nope. Just 15 fuses and buried Zener - truly a work of art.
Die size 2354x1364 µm.
