Needing to replace this IC, its used in the VU meter circuit I posted here a while back....its really hot to the touch after power is applied for 30 secs and cant drive the LED's properly.
Looked on Fleabay, but sellers are pretty picky and I don't need dozens of them.
I used AI to suggest subs, it said LM239D is an industrial grade version and would perform better. There's also a mil spec version but I don't need to go that far.
I have an offer sent on Ebay for (40) LM239D but in case it falls thru, was wondering if there are any other possibilities? I really only need one, but if pricing is good will stock up....
