TO BEc or NOT TO BEc...not just for Patrick

[BrianG]

The CC BEC is a high quality BEC, it just uses a discrete component design. All the other ones I've seen (barring the DimensionEngineering ParkBEC) use a circuit on a chip where the switching FET is integrated into the package. So, they probably use some kind of catastrophic failure circuit. All of those designs based on the common IC are limited to around 3-3.5A, whereas the CCBEC is rated for much higher.
