Active filters that still work even when their amplifiers dont
Interesting from a system performance of having all the components have to work right is to have so many single point of failures.
On the other hand, if only few components can work too, even when others are off, then its a bonus. Like mountain lookouts.
The other day when we saw an email showing different solutions to a problem, a junior asked a good question about the hallowed search for the root-cause which means there's one, but why so many solutions.
I gave an example of a small bottle that needs to be filled from a tank. If the bottle is being overfilled, causing spill - there are many ways to solve the problem.
1. Adjust the tap pressure
2. Decrease the incremets of fill, so that there's more granularity and finetuning
3. Decrease/Increase the bottle size. For the ones who cant change the bottle size, it would have to be the other options.
