I'm using a TL431 with an opto-thingummy in my power supply for feedback.
Now someone told me there was a George W involved in the thing if I used the
output to supply the bits.
Option 1) Call me a leftist.
Option 2) Tell me where the George W is.
Option 3) Option three might be your best bet.
Actually -- the portion that George W had been involved in would
work quite well. However, the envious competetors for the supply
would claim that a perfectly good working George W power supply
didn't work. However, with all measurements, the supply is perfect
(within reasonable specs.) However, the 'Chiraq' power supply
company (fully owned subsidiary of the Saddam Company and the
Western Leftist&Terror company) tells lies to the customers that the
George power supply doesn't work. Note that the Chiraq/Saddam/Leftist
power supply is a fake mock-up demo -- and they are still
waiting for their political science majors (errsatz engineers)
to figure out what a power supply is supposed to do. The
shareholders of the Chiraq/Saddam/Leftist power supply company
are also spreading dishonest rumors in the 'stock marketplace
of ideas.' Of course, it is understandable that those leftists
with no personal integrity or values are worried about their
survival -- physical truth and honesty aren't important to the
Chiraq&Co. If the Chiraq/Saddam/Leftist company doesn't win
the deal, then they'll contract with their Terror subsidiary.
