How about a `basic-circuit-block` tag?

+0
−0

I'm in the process of giving the tags page some structure, writing tag descriptions and creating synonyms and some hierarchy.

I'd like to know the Community stance on a new tag I'd like to add:

basic-circuit-block

It should act as a parent for tags that denote all those basic electronic circuit blocks a designer should know about, like a Darlington pair, a differential pair, a diode-connected BJT, a single-BJT switch, a Zener regulator and so on.

Note that I don't mean the tag to describe more abstract concepts, like a differential amplifier (which could also be built with an opamp), otherwise it could become some kind of kitchen-sink.

In other words, the tag should encompass only well-known self-contained circuit blocks, which could be seen more or less as 2-terminal or 3-terminal components on their own (and sometimes are, like the Darlington) and that would be made of only a handful of basic components.

What do you think? Any suggestion?
