Since it's quiet out, here's my latest amp mod project... There's actually a question in the last paragraph. :-) Some time ago I bought a dual-package MRFE6VP61K25HS LDMOS amp from a OM, originally b

Hi Mike, Yep, a 9:1 it is. I most certainly will look at your latest output designs, thanks. The 9:1 isn't bad, though... After 2 minutes key down @ 1200W output it only runs around 7-8C over ambient

I'm seeing a good number o "refurbished" BLF188XR's up for sale on eBay. What does "refurbished" mean? They look like new NXP devices, but for $108 USD I doubt it - unless they're surplus or fall-out

Thanks, Greg. Yes, it was just wishful thinking on my part. DigiKey's current price is $186.31, which is down quite a bit from 2 years ago. Compared to a 8877, it's quite a bargain. 73, Jim N7CXI ___

I'm laying out a 2-module MOSFET amp, and intend to use liquid cooling. The last time I visited the topic, ethylene glycol antifreeze diluted with the traditional 50% deionized water was the coolant

Hi Bob, thanks for the reply. In this particular case, the electrical conductivity of the coolant doesn't matter as long as the cooling efficiency stays up and the corrosion doesn't become an issue f

If theyre measuring the case temp Ill buy 90C. If it was on the spreader the amp would be dead by now. 40C is a conservative limit for the spreader, 50C if youre taking chances. 90C is a reasonable t

I've never seen a HV bridge fail because of "switching transients". Do they exist? I don't know but if they do I have no evidence they're of critical concern. I have, however seen bridge diodes and e
