After almost one year's delay, I finally had time to work on my own version last night.

The TCS has been integrated and tested.

As expected it has more current driving capability, which also means a low impedance load for perfect stability (22R).
Alternatively a Zobel of 22R 3.3n will give a bandwidth of way over 2MHz.
The 100kHz square wave response has a small spike at the rising edge, but this comes from my functions generator rather than the DAO.

Both the HAGS and the Cross Feed have been tested before.
But before final integration, I want to build 4x Didden Regulator for the two first.
This way, they are much better isolated from the current draw of the DAO.

Will take some time though. Busy month ahead in December.
