I've done a whole bunch of reading and I don't see any other way than a rectifying bridge. But there is that voltage drop across it so is there any voltage drop on yours or is the magic really "pure" :thinking::drool:

There's somewhere around 100mV of drop

Reeaaaaaaaly? woooooow this really is magic

what about the input current. If it is say 3.5A at 3.6V will it work? I mean will the voltage drop be more, at what input current is that driver running?

It will be more like 240mV at 3.5A of current.

Yeah, pretty sure it's a MOSFET full bridge rectifier. I can't think of any other way of achieving this.

Two MOSFET's back to back across eachother... just figured it out. I think. Well i can see it in my head anyway I'll have to draw it out tomorrow (I have to be at work at 5am for an ANZAC day thing)...

About time someone takes initiative to build some kick ass engineering into a driver. Very nice indeed, RHD!
