 Dear Dennis

EN-Genius Network presents a new, interactive analog design service to readers! Send us your design questions (with relevant data; schematics in JPEG or GIF, please) for some free engineering advice from EN-Genius Network's circuit consultant, Dennis Feucht, on how you might solve a design problem or improve circuit performance. Submissions may be edited for clarity or brevity, and submitters and their email addresses will remain anonymous (unless otherwise indicated). Please send your questions to Dennis here.
