[sdiy] Outputs grounded! Re: SSI2164 datasheet updated

[Tom Bugs]

I was also surprised by the outputs ground requirement in the app note.

I seem to remember the question about what to do with unused 2164 
sections coming up on the list some years back.
I'd previously tied inputs simply to 0V, but someone (I think it might 
have been you, Neil) suggested that would be bad and that the standard 
compensation network should be used and a 30k to 0V.
Since then I've tended to add the regular compensation network - partly 
as it typically makes layouts symmetrical around the 2164 & costs almost 
nothing.
