Original poster: Shaun Epp <scepp@xxxxxxx>Those diodes you are referring to, I assume were the ones in series with the MOSFET, and then an anti parallel diode across it and the MOSFET. They are not needed. MOSFET's with slow body diodes do bennifit with a anti parallel diode across the source and drain though. Alot of the newer MOSFET's have fast body diodes built into them already.

Original poster: Steve Ward <steve.ward@xxxxxxxxx> I dont bother with them, they actually caused me more headaches and didnt seem to do anything but fail from overheating. I think its pretty safe to leave them out.
