Linear Light Dimmer by Power Mosfet
The described circuit utilizes an N-Channel Power MOSFET (Q1) as a variable resistor to control the intensity of a lamp. The resistor R2 plays a crucial role in this setup; by varying its resistance, the current flowing through the lamp can be adjusted, thereby changing its brightness. This is a practical demonstration of how MOSFETs can function effectively in applications requiring variable resistance.
The selection of the MOSFET is critical and should be based on the load specifications. The power rating and the maximum current that the MOSFET can handle must exceed the requirements of the lamp to ensure reliable operation. For instance, if the lamp operates at a maximum of 6V and draws a specific current, the chosen MOSFET should have a threshold voltage lower than 6V and be capable of handling the corresponding power dissipation.
In this application, the power supply is set at 6V, which is suitable for operating the lamp within its specified voltage range of 4 to 6 volts. The circuit may include additional components, such as a gate resistor to limit the gate current and a pull-down resistor to ensure that the MOSFET remains off when not driven by the control signal.
Overall, this circuit exemplifies the versatility of MOSFETs in controlling load devices like lamps, allowing for efficient brightness adjustment while maintaining stable operation across varying load conditions.When change the value of R2 Intensity of Lamp change to this circuit shows the usability of Mosfet be Variable Resistor.
