I must say these drivers look very attractive. It is a bit odd though for an new driver to the market to make it's first showing above the price of all the other boost drivers. I'll will bet you will sell a boat load of these if you match or undercut Dr.Lava. No offense Dr. I love your drivers.
Nice Work!
 
If you have a flexdrive or rkcstr driver hanging around, can you take a comparison photo please?

Thanks for the feedback.

@ Yobresal, this is the same type driver in the pen you bought from me some time back. I have put countless hours into the R&D for it to match my personal needs. The price may seem a bit steep, but for all that went into it, and the fact that its the only driver availible that can push the new 8x from 3.6v, over 500mA, I thought the price wasnt too bad.

The price is 25$ shipped for anyone who has had business with me in the past. I seemed to forgot to mention that above.

@ Robjdixon, I will take a pic for reference. The latest Flexdrive is 12mm long x 9mm wide.

I made these boards a little bigger knowing that most will be using them to push some serious current, and the layout was done with heat in mind.

Mine measure 15mm long x 8mm wide.

Next to a rkcstr, I cant say, I am probably the only one on LPF who doesnt own one..
I have always been partial to boost, just to keep the build sizes small.

I will post a pic in a few mins...

Well I will be the first then to buy one of your drivers. PP address me in a PM and I will send it along. Thanks.
 
PM sent with the reduced price for previous dealings ;)

Payment sent!, Can't wait to check it out.

Payment received, as well as the desired mA. I will try to get it out tonight before the P/O closes.

Deliver will be under 14days, usually 1 week.

Joe.

A + / - 20mA swing could kill a diode...no?

Its + / - 2mv <----- and almost no harmonic signals... So that would be a big fat NO.. ;)

IgoreT has quoted his driver using the same IC chip as IIRC 30mv of ripple or so... I have got this down to 8mv and could add more protection, but its simply not needed.

So if I wanted one set to 90ma for use with a PHR, and it pushed it to 110mA, the PHR is not in danger if its a low efficiency diode? Serious question here.

How about a 6X? A 210mA jump from 190mA could easily kill the diode, if not making the life shorter.

"The drivers will come preset to the buyers needs + / - 20mA"

I assumed from this that you cant set it to the exact mA desired. This is what I was talking about.

LOL, missed that, you should have quoted the part you were refering to.

"At higher output currents, the current is adjusted by a fraction of an ohm." So setting it to exactly what you need will come with some tolerance. The most commonly requested preset currents will be my target for now."


When stting this driver with an r set for 190mA+ of current, the resistor has to be set by a fraction of an ohm. If somebody wants a specific mA set and I dont have the resistor, I will set it as close as possible, under the advisement of the buyer.

If you want 190mA I have the 1% tolerance res that will provide 190ma on the button. If somebody wants a strange number and I dont have the exact resistor, I can simply get it close, or just get more resistors...

I have only used these at under 240mA and have limited types of resistors.

I will add more as people ask for various currents.

This does not mean the driver will drift 20mA... The buyer has final decision on the preset current.
