Hi Steve,

I should have pointed out the need to tie pins 1 and 19 to gnd. Also
since there are no pins shown on the Power Smart Head schematic use pins
2,4,6 and 8 for inputs and pins 18,16,14 and 12 for corresponding
outputs. Also tie input pins 17,15,13,11 to ground if you are not going
to use the second half of the 240 chip. From now on I will add pin
numbers to my schematics and try to convert as many as I can to layout
drawings.

regards

wilf
