Rail-to-rail and some 50-100mA output current at somewhat high frequencies. I actually would just love to get rid of transformer... I was considering using simple Optocoupler to go to the line... will have to think about it. Also, I have to choose what to use as the power-supply: ranging 20-120V, I was almost tented on a Supertex device... Or maybe that a simple BU transistor or alike can work all the same, after all current will be real low. -- Ciao, Dario -- Cyberdyne -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
