Re: Grey Jaguar No Power Out

Put simply, it would be physically impossible for a Jaguar (or a Victor) to have an actual 2V drop while driving a motor and not be on fire: It is WAY too much heat to dissipate.
80 watts IS a lot, isn't it?
I wonder why infineon claims each power transistor can dissipate 100 Watts?

Anyways, I would appreciate getting back to the original topic. I recently obtained a Jaguar that has this problem. (I'm not sure what was done to it.)
The only damage I see is around the traces on ONE of the MOSFETs. However, I get no voltage both in Forward and Reverse.
