Hi all,

Some time ago on the list someone was after an efficient 1V PSU, with the
resulting discussion on losses in the diodes.

There have also been discussions about using PIC's to PWM DC motors.

Having some interest in switching PSU's I've been looking around and found a
chip that provides 1V at 70A, looking at the circuit I noticed that rather
than use diodes they used FET's to clamp at the correct time.

No I have only used 16C84's so I don't know too much about those PIC's with
AtoD on them but it would seem that a PIC with a couple of FET's and an
inductor could make a nice PSU or motor driver?

        Anyone have comments as to why this would not be a good thing to
build?

        cya,    Andrew...
