Hi - Its worth remembering that many many folk here are NOT from the USA - Many are from the UK/Europe and many other from around the world - conservatively, I would estimate that at least 50% are non-US. I'm from the UK, but my boards are typically made in Plovdiv (Bulgaria), my capacitors from the Czech Republic (AVX or Kemet), my uPs from Norway (Atmel), resistors from who knows where, semiconductors from the USA/Far East and elsewhere etc. and assembled & supported here (England). Its the way things are and will remain so. On Semi (who make the 34063A chip you use) do most of their chip manufacturing in the Far East - 4 out of 20 plants are in the USA, 14 are in the Far East, and 2 in Europe. http://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/content.do?id=1071 There is more than one country involved in engineering assembly & component manufacture and not all customers are in the USA !
