To turn a MOSFET transistor on, you need a voltage between gate and source that is higher than the threshold voltage of your transistor. For example, the BS170 has agate-source threshold voltageof 2.1V. (You’ll find this info in thedatasheet). The threshold voltage of a MOSFET is actua...
The question of how to turn on a MOSFET, or at a more basic level, the minimum voltage that should be applied to the gate, has come up for renewal with more and more converters being controlled digitally. While digital control offers the next level of flexibility and functionality, the DS...

The easiest way to understand how MOSFETs work is to compare them with PNP and NPN transistors and show them in similar circuits. The advantage of a MOSFET is this: It requires very little current (almost zero current) into the gate to turn it ON and it can deliver 10 to 50 amps or ...
The circuit is designed to simulate the MOSFET turn-off at ~40us and turn-on at ~50us. To calculate the energy loss during turn-off, place the red cursor (left mouse button) such that the voltage across the MOSFET is about 10% of the applied voltage, which is ~40V. Then, ...
As per above details IRFS7530 is having extremely large turn ON/OFF delay compared to other three mosfet. But as per Qg max calculations this is in range. Question is 1. This range 1339nC is rightly calculated? 2. Is 8.96khz ok for driving motor?
In this paper, a solution consisting of two approaches is shown to turn-off SiC MOSFET with low losses and low EMI across the full operating range. At first, one approach called "boost-method" is presented. It is confirmed with measurements that with the boost-method low switching losses...
MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors) is an incredibly versatile and effective component to add to electronic circuitry.
To turn on an NPN transistor, a voltage is applied across the base and emitter terminals. This causes electrons in the Base wire to move away from the transistor itself and flow out towards the power supply. This in turn yanks electrons out of the P-type base region, leaving 'holes' beh...
Figure 3. MOSFET turn on transition with a gate driver. The source and sink current rating for the I/O pins of a microcontroller is typically up to tens of milliamps, whereas gate drivers can provide much higher current. In Figure 2, a long switching interval is observed when a power...
