Hi Wouter and all. Perhaps spikes and reverse voltage of diodes and transistors could be = the problem. Thats if an strange voltage incoming o misconexion is not = possible. In my controls I dont use Schottky diodes at this application. Reverse = voltage of semiconductors is always 4-6 times the supply. Also use an rc = network at the output.
