You know the linear regulator datasheet was written in the 1970s when you see an endless number of Rube Goldberg machines built by slapping things into the feedback path: temperature controllers, light controllers, digital output programming, amplifiers, injecting other reference voltages... Engineers: chipmakers just made a super cheap "servo controller on a chip", but only for power supplies. This is too useful to ignore, how do we force it to do things we want?
