So it's not just me then? I was talking to the design engineers at AD about
the zipper/control-breakthrough noise in their SSM2163s. At first they
tried to pass it off as ground leakage. Then one of them said a most
extraordinary thing. "Yes we knew about the problem we just decided not to
put it in the data sheet."

Note here that there are no other application notes on this chip of any kind.
