Thanks for the comment! We're using a standard AC line switcher to
generate +12, +5, and -12V. When we go in to sleep mode, some stuff needs
to remain powered, some does not. For some stuff, we are doing linear
regulators from +5 down to +3.3V. I looked at using regulators with enable
pins. But, we still need to switch the other voltages. A quick look at
negative regulators did not turn up any with enable pins. So, at this
point, I'm using two P-FETs for the positive switches and an N-FET for the
negative.

Thanks!

Harold
