I have a PIC controlled circuit that also includes an LM386 audio amplifier. When I put the PIC into sleep mode, I'd like to eliminate the power drain of the amp. I can use a relay to do this but I figure that there is probably some very clean solid state way to accomplish this. Any ideas? -John -- "Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must be first overcome." --Samuel Johnson John R. Sosoka Neurosmith, LLC 5030 E.
