there are many analog switches out there. We use them everywhere. But
I never found any positions dedicated to this type of design in those
job hunting websites. Who are designing those switchs?

IC designers most likely. :)

If you look at the jelly bean switches (the ones used in designs over
and over) such as CD4053 or the higher end SD5400 you'll notice that
these are rather old designs. So possibly the engineers who did these
are retired but their products still suffice. No need for new versions,
really.

For something better than consumer audio designs ( for example ) devices
like Siliconix's DG211 and 308 were always popular. Dunno if Maxim or
someone has tweaked them but I bet they're still in regular use.

The DG Series is ok but check out the SD5400. You can do pretty hot RF
stuff with that one. However, in terms of ESD it needs to be treated
like the princess on the pea.

haha. That is for sure. I am just wandering that I never saw that any
company was hiring this type of guys.

I don't think that "analog switch designer" is a realistic job title. I
see job postings for analog IC designers frequently. Any of the people who
apply to those positions may possibly end up designing an analog switch at
some point.

The correct phrase is 'the princess on the piss'.

What are you talking about? If you are making a joke, please incorporate a
smiley. And you might want to explain, since it makes no sense to me.

If you are serious, then you are wrong. The "princess on the pea" makes
perfect sense. Let me know if I should explain.

I guess Paul was eluding to "pea - pee - p...".

Smiley follows :)

Hello Mac,


I guess Paul was eluding to "pea - pee - p...".

Hmm. Yeah, I can see that progression. But it doesn't seem funny. I'm not
being a prude. I can laugh at juvenile jokes, but somehow that just
doesn't seem funny. Maybe it is a British or Australian thing. I know
"p..." means different things to different Anglophonic nations.

For example, what USians (such as myself) would call a "case of beer"
might well be called a "carton of p..." in Australia. And in Britain,
I understand that to "take the p..." means "to ridicule," or something
like that. So maybe "princess on the p..." means "drunken princess" or
something. Which is kind of a funny image. But without the smiley, I don't
know whether to look for humor or just shake my head in disgust. ;-)
Smiley follows :)

Much appreciated! ;-)

I suspect in this case pea was incorrectly quoted.

Pea sounds the same as 'pee'. Pee and piss both mean the same. As in to
urinate.

I have *no idea* if that's what was meant however. It's a new one on me.

Sense of humour can be very regional. For example, the Germans are noted to have
'no sense of humour' yet a 'German version' of a certain episode of "Monty
Python's Flying Circus" apparently had them all rolling in the aisles !

I've noted that 'mercuns don't *get* 'dry humour'. It kinda flies over the top of
their heads. But they like kiddy humour afaik which would be considered 'bad
taste' here - such as laughing about farting ( anal expulsion of foul smelling
odours ).

Of course we do, if it's actually funny.

Nah, what really gets us rolling in the aisles is rightpondian
spelling. The one above is about 60dBf. ;-)

previous posters {or poseurs} whose news client isn't programmed to

Well, hell. Your _own_ farts always smell OK. -- George Carlin

But back to the topic, if there was one, may Gawd bless the princess. The
original was "The princess _AND_ the pea." The point being, the princess
was oh so sensitive, that even if she had a pile of TEN mattresses on her
bed, the pea (that little fruit, or vegetable, green, comes in a pod much
like a bean, but it's green and practically spherical, usually less than a
centimeter (3/8") in diameter) hidden under that whole pile of
mattressess, disturbed her sleep. This is why, in the US anyway, there's a
thing of guy wisdom: "Don't go out with a girl whose dad calls her
'Princess' - she usually believes it."

And not ALL 'murcuns are shitheads. I, for one, really enjoy 'dry' humour,
and I get frustrated when I'm in the company of some 'murcuns and they
don't get the joke. OK, _most_ 'murcuns are shitheads, but some of us are
real gems. And after all, you can only play the hand that life deals you,
wouldn't you say? And actually, the spelling of 'mercun' itself could be
called into question - I've always spelled it 'merkin', albeit I think
that that's like Scottish for 'codpiece' or 'purse' or something.

Then again, you _never_ expect the Spanish Inquisition. ;-D

Who plugged up her **** with a cork.
A woodpecker or two
Made the grade it is true,
But it totally baffled the stork.

Till along came a man who presented
A tool that was strangely indented.
With a dizzying twirl
He punctured that girl,
And thus was the cork-screw invented."

I 'splained this in another post, just a little bit up-thread. It
was about the princess's hypersensitivity disorder - no matter how
many mattresses they put on her bed, the pea on top of the box
spring (underneath the pile of mattresses) made the bed too
uncomfortable for her to get a good night's sleep. )-;

But princess jokes are a dime a dozen. ;-D

Ahhh ! Ok - something entirely different !

Btw 'on the piss' is a phrase in regular use in the UK to indicate you're out for
a night of alcoholic abandon !
