Q2 are cold on both boards.
But on new board I got slight dif results=
Vout = 40 V @ 88mA
Q1 Vds = 95 V
Q1 Vgs = 2,3 V
Q2 Vds = 1,7 V
Q2 Vgs = 1 V

Felipe, going much higher at Vin only rewards by 1 or 2 mA. more.

euro21, I understand now you duplicated the cascode, please forgive me my bad at reading in first glance.
It seems the results very close to the specification.
But is no other way than paralelling? I dislike the idea....maybe another design... one upper, I like the speed of Ixys in the upper, and two DN2540 to take the heat??

I remember the other day when pcb has those small row pins, getting worse results using IXTP02N50D.
Mainly placed as Q1. But bareable when Q2.
I thing is needed two Q1 or one more powerfull than DN2540.
Is that posible?
Is cold, and agree Vgs Q2 reading 0,1V like a dead one, I will change later,
Q2 is IXTP02N50D, I have spares.
thanks
And Felipe, the other in Q1 is DN2540
I find it in the specification pdf, Is a shame that IXYS not provide also saturation Id current curves

Thank you Bela.
Thanks Bela, I appreciate the schems, great this one including Ixys.
I will see what can I do for an easy comparison when listening each schematic performance.. maybe a perforated board with row pins soldered and contact paste to help filling the holes.
In the meantime waiting for the parts, I succed in reply the conditions where 77V/170mA. are archieved this past days.
At the time, I have had a solder bridge Drain to Source in Q1.
So bypassing Q1, confirmed the reg is in again in working order, and good sounding without the cascode!

Yes, it cancels the force wires resistance by sensing voltage for the error amp at the load's node. Sense carries no current.
Because it extends the loop area beyond the board, has to be applied with care not to become a noise antenna. So not too long & thin twisted. Or even better, coaxial sense wiring.
