Pound Seats

I'm back in the Pound Seats. More than a year after I submitted my last electronic design, I have one in next month's EPE magazine (the UK's no. 1 electronics magazine) -- and the month after, EPE is to run a feature by me (see inset), which they bought from Down Under. It's a replacement for the famous (now obsolete) LM3909 IC -- only better. In fact, the LM3909 would have been dead in the water if I had designed this years earlier -- which would have been technically possible then. OBSERVATION: Except, the Aussies stuffed up my LM3909 design by turning it into a bulky module. Anyway, it's easy to convert into something as lightweight as the original.
