I think it was in the KOP a few years back, and the description of COTS in the manual (and to when it could be used) confused me.

Thank you!
Ethan,

If you want clear guidance, you should post your question to the GDC.

In my opinion, the use of this part, as described, would be classified as a "custom circuit" and must adhere to all custom circuit rules.

Good luck.

Mike
