Cheap Commercial Announcement:

At the end of this month we will be offering a beefed-up G201/G210
called the G202/G212. It will have the following improvements:

1) No heatsinking required at 7A. New MOSFETs (140A peak current)
having only 1/5 the resistance of the current IRF530s will be used.
Very efficient and very low heating at 7A.

2) No external 470uF/100V capacitor required at 7A. Bought them and
put them inside the G202/G210. They are big so the package is 0.625"
wider, (3.125" by 2.5" instead of 2.5" by 2.5"). Same pinout, same
mounting-hole centers.

3) Short-circuit protected. Short your windings together, miss-wire
your 8-lead motors, use motors with shorted windings, short your
motor cables to ground, disconnect your motor under power; do it at
80VDC and 7A per phase while you are at it. The G202/G212 won't care;
it will go into "Hulk" mode and laugh at your feeble attemps to kill
it. Otherwise it's just another mild-mannered G201/G210. Think of it
as a G201/G210 on steroids.

4) Power-on Reset. Waits one second after power comes up and is
internally stabilized before it unleashes its fury on your motor.

5) More features = more parts = more money. In this case, a $20
surcharge above the G201/G210 pricing.

More interesting new stuff coming towards the end of May as well.
