Thanks for the new part number to look into. Uhm I see it is in another
subatomic package.

Good grief that's probably too fast. I actually tried the Fairchild UHS
gadget on your suggestion. I really like it, except for the smallness.
  I suppose I'll get used to it, and ask my boss to let me buy a
magnifier and a better iron. I should also make my SMD pads extend out
a little farther than the ones I am using.

Any programmable slew rate drivers out there?

Good day!
