V1.1 PCB layout

Prototype / under validation

V1.1 is published as a design preview. The high-voltage switching stage has been updated with a 100 V MOSFET option; electrical validation and reliability testing are still in progress.

100 V MOSFET revision

The high-voltage switching MOSFET was upgraded from the previous 60 V class to a 100 V option to provide more voltage margin.

Gate drive and protection

The MOSFET drive, clamp path, switching waveform, thermal behavior, and component stress remain part of ongoing prototype validation.

Open-source files

Schematic, PCB source, BOM, Gerber, firmware, test notes, and release files will be added after the V1.1 validation package is organized.

Safety notice

This is a high-voltage circuit for experienced developers only. Do not build, test, or operate it without suitable insulation, test equipment, and fire-safety precautions.
