Thanks, though sect 3.10 concerns the Enable pin, which is a latched shut down, needing a power cycle to bring it back.......so my apologies, we are needing a non-latched shutdown.
Shorting SS to ground would increase the switching frequency, which is a step in the right direction.....and we could achieve that by shorting the FREQ pin to gnd aswell...but really, we want to stop it from switching............maybe shorting SS to gnd does that...hmmm...thanks for the info, ill look into it.
