Please note that the 990C has just been updated to the "990C+". There is a new data package explaining all the changes and improvements. Same basic circuit and packaging, but converted to surface-mount assembly (except for the output transistors and pins). Page 1 of the new 990 data package tells the whole story.

You can start at my home page:

Thank you.
