Default Crazy MOSFET Mayhem

What do you think?

Click the image to open in full size.

Got the idea from the SMPS i am building...
All N-channel mosfets. Should be pretty easy to match.
Of course bias stage and thermal tracking would be nice...

Two things;
this is the chip amp forum
since no components are labeled, who would know what the circuit is or does?

All N-Ch necessitates bigger voltage swing
source follower gates than drain followers.
You can't just cross the drives as drawn...

Top two BJTs are miswired and won't work.
Will short circuit from + to minus as a pair
of forward biased diodes...

Gate drive transformers might be a quick fix.

You would probably want to put the power-booster INSIDE the feedback loop.

Take a look at these cool application notes!

Everyone is absolutely right!

I soon realised, this will not work...
Good i did not make a prototype yet! :-)
The BJTs are wrong...

And it must be made class-AD to make it work...
And therefore i am in the wrong forum!!! ;-)

PS: My SMPS is working great though... I will post my schematic to the PowerSupply forum later...
Simple and easy! No special components needed.
And crazy powerfull!!! I.E. the REAL Mosfet Mayhem...

Thanks all!
