      Just beware that there are numerous reports of
      currently-manufactured "XR2206" chips that fail to perform to
      datasheet specs, particularly with respect to supply voltage. The
      newer ones seem to fail above 10-12 V. True original chips (which
      ceased production around 2011 I think) should be fine.
