Saturating a N-Channel MOSFET
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 gate of the transistor. My other question is what do I need to look at to make sure the...
mosfet Reverse polarity protection
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. Please correct me if i have saidsomething which is incorrect. Durgaprasad Mar 21 `13 at...

switches MOSFET as a switch
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 from : When the control goes "HI" the MOSFET switch is "OFF. " When the control goes "LO" the
switches Default-on latch-off MOSFET power 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 this: From null, "OFF" is floating. Supply 15V, and the capacitor starts out acting like a...

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 saturate the MOSFET. VCC + STP50N06FI | N-MOSFET | |-+ _ |<- | \_-|-+ |_/ | Logic

Short Circuit Protection With A MOSFET
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 current flowing through the MOSFET. The voltage across the internal resistance can be...

The biggest issue is that the RDS_on of the used MOSFETS is, driven with 5V gate voltage, too low. The other issue is that the the reverse voltage that occurs, when the MOSFET switches from on to off state kills the transistor. This revese voltage is caused by the parasitic series inductance of the heatbed, hotend heater cartride or resistor....
