The following calculator tool can be used to correctly calculate all the parameters essential for connecting many number of MOSFETs in parallel. This ensures the current handling by the MOSFETs is implemented optimally, without any issues or technical errors, and keeps the MOSFETs safe for long term operations. MOSFET Parallel Calculator Total Load Current (Amps) […]

2 Simple MOSFET Gate Driver Circuits using BJTs
Very often we see that output coming from a microcontroller, oscillator, comparator, or PWM stage is just not strong enough for driving a power MOSFET directly, it gives signal, yes, but gate does not respond properly unless some decent current reaches there. A MOSFET gate behaves like a small capacitor, so now unless that gate […]
Make this Single MOSFET Solid-State Relay SSR circuit
This single MOSFET solid-state relay SSR circuit is a very simple where you can drive an AC load like a lamp, motor, or any oter AC load, through a small DC control voltage. We use only one IRF840 MOSFET to switch the 220V AC load, and we do this with some clever diode bridge arrangement, […]
How MOSFET Works like a Switch
Now in our earlier talks we saw that the N-channel Enhancement-mode MOSFET or e-MOSFET works nicely when we supply it with positive input voltage, so this is very important to remember. This type of MOSFET has very high input resistance, almost close to infinity, and because of that we can use it easily like a […]
IC IR2111 H-Bridge MOSFET, IGBT Driver IC: Full Datasheet, Circuit Diagram
In this article I will talk about this IC IR2111 which people use many times in power electronics field. We can see that this IC is made in such a way that it can handle high voltage and also it can work with very high switching speed and it is mainly meant for working like […]
Explained: Snubber Circuit for MOSFET H-Bridge
Here we are going to talk deeply about snubber circuits and why we must use them with MOSFET H-bridge circuits. Because if we do not put snubber in H-bridge then that MOSFETs might blow off during switching. Specially when we drive inductive loads like transformer, motor, relay, solenoid, etc. then this thing becomes very serious. […]
