problem is my MOSFET gets realy hot. due to the circuit is using half bridge and no mosfet driver. I cannot get the tc4429 ic where i live. any other ideas how i can stop my MOSFET over heating, or maybe how to conect another mosfet driver. Probably wouldn`t help spitso, also you say it gets very hot but most people don`t realize that power electron

ics are okay to get hot. The max operating temperature of your typical power FET is hotter than a human being can safely touch. I have personally played with that driver and i have found it to waste alot of power and mosfets. I would recommend building this instead with the half bridge output. The sound quality is excellent and with a god flyback you can run it for 30 min before you have to turn it off. I wouldn`t use an amplifier, I`d use a purpose built Mosfet driver. With the load you`re driving though you may just need to buy a bigger fet, it`s really hard to tell without scope shots of the gate/drain/source voltages and current through the FET. You`re either running the FET too long in it`s linear region, or you`re pushing too much current through it. i unfortuneately dont have a ocilioscope. But current isnt a problem because i used a bench top powersupply and limited current at 3 amps, irf540 which im using can handle 33amps. So currents not the problem, must be MOSFET getting wrongly switched. It`s current limited Have you checked to make sure you`re not drawing too much current then If you draw too much current from the supply the voltage is going to drop and that`s going to do all sorts of nasty things to the voltages on your circuit, if your voltage drops too much that mosfet will be in it`s linear region regardless of how you drive it. What`s the DC resistance of the flyback coil primary i wound my own coil...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
