[sdiy] use for CA3140

[James Patchell]

The biggest thing of note about the CA3140 is the very low input bias 
current.  They are a good choice for the integrator in a VCO as you will be 
able to get greater than a 1,000,000 to 1 tuning range.  This is the opamp 
that is shown in the ASM-1 VCO.  Other than that, the CA3140 really is just 
a general purpose run of the mill amplifier.  I have used them quite a 
bit.  A very nice amplifier...in fact.
