<DIV><SPAN class=601440405-03092018><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>I am
building an oscillator, and one of the 2164s has an unused VCA. In the
layout as it is, the pins are simply unconnected. It would require a major
layout adjustment to bring ground to these pins.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

internally to ground through a 500-ohm resistor. Hence, simply connecting
all three pins of the unused VCA together would effectively ground every pin,
would it not? This can be done with a very simple
kludge.</FONT></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
