Yes... you are quite right. Not sure where I got 'JFET' input from?
Thanks

** 1nA input bias current gives one that sort of impression.

Seems to be using the same "super gain" NPN transistors for the inputs as
the LM308 does.

Amazing stuff for ICs released in the late 1960s.

Bob Widlar was amazing.

The LM110/310 is a follower - i.e., unity gain, so if you used an opamp,
you'd have to add a clooge to strap it down to unity gain.

Doesn't have to be a _big_ clooge, if it's a one-off; just lash up a
feedback resistor somewhere near the chip, or maybe even just short
the output to the "-" input.

<anecdote>
One time, my engineer and I were musing about a circuit - he said,
"A zero gain inverter? What would you use a zero gain inverter for?"
I said, "virtual ground." He went, "Ah." and went away happy. :-)

Hope This Helps!
