I am wondering if in place of fast-recovery diode it would be possible to
use a second transistor in anti-parallel with each transistor of the
H-bridge; the latter switching on at the same time as the former but
switching off a short period later to allow any spikes to be returned to
the supply rails.
Does anyone have any experience of doing this?
