          Appeal No. 95-4531                                                          
          Application No. 07/939,892                                                  


          been rendered obvious by the single diode teachings of Sedra.  We           
          agree with appellants.  The obviousness rejection of claims 7 and           
          15 is reversed.                                                             
               Turning lastly to claims 3, 10 through 13 and 25, the                  
          examiner cited Davis for “a ‘diode-connected transistor’ (36) in            
          Figure 1.” (Answer, page 5 and 6).  We agree with appellants’               
          argument (Brief, page 14) that Davis does not make up “for the              
          failings of the Sedra circuits of Figures P4.1 and 4.15.”  The              
          obviousness rejection of claims 3, 10 through 13 and 25 is                  
          reversed.
