Sweet. I wonder what the biggest igbt's that are good for drsstc use 
it could drive (without adding external fets). Guess this will 
definitely speed up the soldering process. I'm surprised no one has 
made a 1-brick h-bridge that has something like this integrated with 
it to where all you had were 10 leads- 4 for the timing resistor and 
cap, 2 for the 15vdc, 2 for the hv in and 2 for the load.
