Hi ! Salas
i have test Salas low shunt v1.0 out 3V3, with Q4 = Bd140 or MJE 350.
I want ask you about Mje 350 and Bd140, Which one is it better?? MJE or BD??
Thanks !

I think quanghao was commenting that he has found the V1.2 of the shunt to have inconsistent performance (probably requiring tweaking) depending on the input voltage and that this may cause it to be more difficult for a DIY project available to the masses.

he has not had this trouble with V1

thats how I understood it anyway.

Yes! Salas shunt low V1.0 , it is very excellent, and very simple,
you can use at 3V.3 to 80V, it is very stable!

😕 Maybe he wants more Vin and the fet cascode shorts his target. Or he got it oscillating in some layout as a hybrid. The fets need proper Idss relations.
 
yeah I dunno what hes done mate, just acting as interpreter 😕 even after my attempt to clarify above, his post in reply to it does not help me and probably not you either; understand.

we do know hes happy with V1 though, so thats good right?? :cheers:
 
Today I measured SSHV V1.0 DB140 and MJE at 3.3V using the following results
