The PWM chip takes an input voltage between 0 and 1 volt, so the idea was to float the PWM IC so its rails ride up and down on top of the output voltage and divide the modulation input down from the output, referred to the floating "ground" so as not to lose resolution. But the LT chip doesn't seem to cooperate with the idea. -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/
