over time new ones, but I have here hundreds of old boards stocked up, likely 600-800
so if I take a new board over an old I would charge something, as I am usually try to use older designs if the performance is the same
If a board got new MOSFET like on the Buck I am sitting on dead boards and parts if noone want a XHP35 Buck driver, where old parts have no disadvantage
I even cancelled the current enhancement fee for high power parts, but those 6-8A all get all new parts
LX has nothing to do with TA, its complete new drawn design with all my previous tweaks
its based on Narsil Triple channel/Bistro HD OTSM of course the end product is similar in some ways
.
lets have a look on TA 22mm for example
just to mention if you would solder the MOSFET this way around like seen here it would short 180° flipped
It reminds me of the layout on the Darkside Nymph driver with the 7135 chip soldered in the upright position to save space. But it isn’t exactly the same. Components are different. Yours also has (re)programming pads. Wow! Nice touch! :+1:
Can’t some of the green material near the edge be scratched off and then have a bit of solder between the driver and the body?
Like maybe near that circle at the top of the ‘G’ where there’s some free space
