Re: Issue with Talons
To take Al's point further; Have you ruled out a power supply issue to the DSC?

Re: Talon: How its made video
Yes, FET technology keeps getting better and better. We are currently designing a product that uses FETs that are basically a bare die on a metal slab capable of handling 300+ amps at 60 volts.

Re: Talon: How its made video
Thank you all for the feedback.
And yes the Talon uses surface mount FET'S. Each FET has an RDS on of only .8-1.2 milliOhms so only one per leg is required.
