Push-Pull Driver with Lossless Clamps

Finally got this bugger designed, built and tested.

Been wanting a rock solid push-pull driver with integrated lossless clamps for over five years now. I can say with confidence, "It has arrived."

My first test was to try it against Bill Alek's Split Flux Transformer (SFT) and it drives it just fine, only the SFT is not an AboveUnity device as far as I can tell. But hey, the guy got a patent (US9620280B2) on it, so it must be wonderful to somebody.

Anyway, if someone out there is interested, I can send you all the DipTrace files or just the OSH Park board link and the bill of materials. It's nothing all that fancy, but it does have a lot of best practices implemented in the design. If you need something as a basis for any sort of power inverter, this will do the job. And by the way, it's fully isolated so using it with oscilloscopes that have a common ground is not an issue.
