Great old tutorials on opamp and PLL design

These converted what was magic into sufficiently advanced technology for me, back in the day, and I just rediscovered them online.

And what's at the link, just in case, for posterity.
App note #A from National! Now that's going back almost to Philbrick.
And here's the best Phase Locked loop writeup I've ever seen:

And locally:
These really turned some lights on for me when I was a young punk in '78. Why does lower transconductance in the input stage make an opamp slew faster??!?!
What's the difference between tracking and capture range in a PLL - why is there one, and how does loop bandwidth affect tracking into the noise as a tradeoff with ability to capture in the first place? How to actually calculate feedforward how your loop is gonna perform, using real units.
