AD633 Ring mod

Keith,

The trimmers on pins 2 & 4 seem to be offset adjustments. They are meant to eek
out some precision when the IC is used as a multiplier. The Ad633 app note shows
these pins grounded unless offset trim is required, so you can toss them. Note,
however, that if you use a control voltage as one of the inputs, the offset
adjustment might be handy.
