I dont claim circuit can test all bad mosfets or all fault mosfet conditions. If mosfet is working it will operate in the astable multivibrator circuit causing the Led to flash...
I have finally finished my first prototype PCB but I am a bit worried about the amount of heat generated when using the BMSat max power in myapplication (ultralight hybrid electric vehicle). At 30A cont/50A burstI have almost 20Wloss. It seems to me that it....
By adding a discharge path to the upper MOSFET of a cascode circuit, the unavoidable Miller effect is greatly reduced and the PFC performance of a power supply`s front end can be improved..
Not thrilled with how a computer soundcard drove my 32ohm headphones so I decided to build myself class-A mosfet headphone amplifier. As with most of my projects, the goal was to keep it simple, keep cost down and try use some salvaged parts. This is a....
Here is a very simple project of controlling a small DC-motor (taken from an old personal cassette player) with ATmega8. The ATmega8 is having three PWM channels, out of which two are used here. PWM waveforms are fed to MOSFET (RFD3055) H-bridge. Here,....
Build a small battery powered device containing a servo. I would like to be able to turn off the servo to save battery life. I have read previously that MOSFETs can be used to do this, but I am having trouble finding example circuits that are detailed enough....
I have a copper mesh (10cm x 10cm square) in a vacuum chamber connected to a BNC connector by a 24-cm-long copper wire. The goal is to switch the mesh voltage (referenced to ground) from 8 V to ~0 V quickly. (This will switch the electric field in the....
The goal is to be able to turn on and off the load (an 8051 based uC) by pressing both switches. When the uC turns on, it sets PWR high, and then when the switches are pressed again, pin 4 of the flip flop goes low, turning off the boost regulator and uC.....
If I disconnect the ground of the Arduino from the negative terminal of the power supply, current flows through the MOSFET, even when the switch isn`t closed!..
A "power button" that is actually two buttons; one on, one off. This needs to switch on the order of 15 V and up to 10 A, for a LiFePO4 battery powered device. I don`t want to use a hardwired switch where this is mechanical, because I later also want soft....
The circuit takes Vin, passes it through a SMPS with two MOSFETS (driven by the ir2104 that dies) and into Bat+. The LM321 is just a latch that allow the MCU to control and read the ir2104). The connector in the left comes from the MCU, the right one holds....
Developing a battery switch-over circuit which is made of two lanes of the depicted circuit. Operation voltage range is from 3V. 12V. Only one lane should be enabled at a time which is governed by logic not included in the schematic. Each lane can....
It needs 2 volts as its threshold however, that only allows a small amount of curent to flow through the transistor. How do I know how much voltage I need to make it fully on. Also, how do I determine what type of resistor to use from the 5V GPIO pin to the....
When the reverse voltage is applied that is say 10V to Source and the drain is grounded. So now the Vgs is -10V which is well above the threshold and is good enough to keep the MOS in saturation region. So it is conducting in the opposite direction also now.....
Unit is driving 80V/10A motor. I currently use the following matching rigg, but since MOSFETs isn`t my domain I`m abit uncertain of the validity of the matching in accordance with the application...
A bicycle light control circuit which reads in various buttons and sets various outputs accordingly such as headlight, taillight, blinkers, etc. My current design is based around an ATtiny24 ( Datasheet ) using the internal oscillator (8MHz), programmed in C....
A 12v battery is being charged from a solar panel. When battery is 12v solar panel is disconnected from battery and connect the load with battery. And again solar panel is connected with battery when battery voltage is say 10v. How to switch simply Which one....
The transistor shown is a P-channel MOSFET acting as a "high-side switch". More commonly, an N-channel MOSFET low-side switch is used, but what you have will work as long once you add something to the drain such as in this image of P-Channel MOSFET switch....
It should default on when first connected, but if a particular signal goes high for a small amount of time (say, 10 microseconds, ) then it should turn off, and stay off. It`s the "default on" that gives me trouble. The closest I can get is something like....
A strip of LEDs from a microcontroller using PWM to control the brightness. The strip I have takes about 1. 5A at 12V. I`m only familiar with purely low power digital electronics so wanted to check if these assumptions are correct and get any advice :-....
As I am using a Common Cathode led-strip instead of a Common Anode one as used in the above link thus I came up with this `modified circuit`. Because my experience with FETs was nihil this didn`t actually work as I would need at least a voltage => Vcc to....
The premise of the circuit is this: I want to power L1 coil with square pulses. You can see I`ve got a freewheeling diode to handle the back emf field collapse to protect the circuitry. From previous experiments and talking to others on here, I learned that....
If you have an application in which a MOSFET is already used to switch a load, it is relatively easy to add short-circuit or overload protection. Here we make use of the internal resistance RDS(ON), which produces a voltage drop that depends on the amount of....
Sid, I put together two working examples, one using a PNP and NPN transistor, and one using two MOSFETs. Both work fine, but as expected the MOSFET circuit consumes much less current (0.1 mA vs. 4.5 mA). Comments, suggestions, and bug reports gratefully....
In this post, we shall be covering on how to construct a H-Bridge Motor Driver circuit using simple MOSFET`s and Transistors. The main feature of this H-Bridge is that the motor can be driven in both directions. AnH-bridgeis a circuitthat allows a voltage to....
C1 and C2 with a speed controller works by receiving the voltage at the gate of the MOSFET when the voltage on C turn ON the other would be to drive MOSFET operation...

For the full bridge inverter circuit i planned to use IRF2807 (75V Vds, 82A Ids) and Two IR2110 for the driver. I never use IR2110 before and failed many time when i want to make a H-Bridge for DC motor last year. My DC input voltage is 34V (2 series solar....
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.....
