    Hmmm, well that's unfortunate.
    I really liked that chip.

    I'm sure any other "True RMS to DC" converter will do just as well. It's the RMS that counts.

    The LTC1966 does not appear to be discontinued just not in stock. DK can have one in a couple of days.

    Look at how the Basic Stamp is put together.

    Put the SMD on a small board with a header. Plug that into the bread board.
