Hi Derek,

I was curious about the circuit so I checked it out. I was initially
concerned because it has no snubber across the FET.  So I checked the data
sheet out for the device. I was impressed by its large safe operating area
and 0.5J single pulse avalanche energy capability. Truly a transistor that's
hard to kill. (but not impossible)
