application it's only used in one of them. I mean it would be silly to <br>
recreate all possible signal and control inputs of SSM202 with other <br>
chips if in destination circuit it's wired to work in one specific way. <br>
So depending on what it does in this particular circuit, it may be <br>
easily replaced by either SSI2164, or AS3330, or AS 3360 or AS3363, or <br>
AS3364 or who know what else if not LM13700.<br>
<br>
I mean, making 1-to-1 clone of SSM2020 to fit in one specific circuit is <br>
like recreating working replica Yamaha GX-1 and use it only as a plant <br>
stand.<br>
<br>
If you show schematics of the device then possibly there will be 20 <br>
people offering help in replacement design.<br>
