Hi Terry

I need to review the spec sheets and app notes on the '21531 part.
I believe there is a way to sync the oscillator to an external clock
(has to be larger the 1/6Vcc or the chip will shut down on the Rt/Ct input).
Then a CMOS buffer + clamp network for zero cross detection could
directly drive the chip as zero cross sync'd oscillator/buffer in one
shot.  That would be very cool to replace 3 IC's with one... and eliminate
a gate drive transformer or optocoupler to boot.
