How can I test a MOSFET for Transconductance (gFS) and Forward Admittance on my curve tracer? Transconductance (gFS) and Forward Admittance What It Is:Transconductance is the ratio of ID to VGS. The
adjust Vgs to control Ids current, monitor Vds and Ids of Mos through oscilloscope, and calculate loss P. After the temperature is stable, use thermal imager to measure the highest temperature point of Mos and heat sink temperature.
As shown by Equation 6, gate-drive losses do not all occur on the MOSFET. PDRV = VG _ DRV × QG(tot) × fS 2 × RGHI RGHI + RG + RGI + RGLO RGLO + RG + RGI where: (6) • PDRV is the total gate drive loss divided to calculate the ...
No calculus though, just ohm's law. Before we calculate anything though, let's set some variables. The meter is 100uA full scale deflection, and we'd like to make it 3mA. Looks like we'll need a resistor! Take a look at [image 2]. This is the scenario we must create. In ...
MOSFET gates are capacitive, and its characteristic capacitances are very nonlinear with voltage, but you can use the charge to calculate worst-case switching times. Gate charge determines how fast the MOSFET will switch from ON to OFF and back. If you know the gate driver current, just ...
1 PGND and AGND PGND means power ground; it serves as a ground connection for a high-current power converter node. On a printed-circuit board (PCB) layout, it must be connected directly to the source of low-side power MOSFET. AGND means analog ground; it serves as ground connection for...
All in all, we need to calculate the total power dissipation of LTC3350 to avoid exceeding the junction temperature. Same question in long: Using the LTC3350 and the NVMFS5C426NLWFT1G as top and bottom MOSFET which has a Qg of ~49 nC @ 5Vgs and having an output voltage of 24V and...
Add 10V voltage between DS of SiC Mos, slowly increase Vgs voltage, make Mos operate in linear region, adjust Vgs to control Ids current, monitor Vds and Ids of Mos through oscilloscope, and calculate loss P. After the temperature is stable, use thermal imager to measure the ...
