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 […]

Simple MOSFET Tester and Sorter Circuit
This simple MOSFET tester does a quick job of testing both enhanced mode type N and P-channel mosfets. It checks for shorts between gate, drain and source. Designed By: Henry Bowman It also distinguishes between N and P-channel mosfets. Once the connections are correctly made to the mosfet, all testing is done without reversing connections. […]
How to Check a MOSFET Using a Digital Multimeter
In this post I have explained how to test mosfets using multimeter through a set of steps, which will show help you to accurately learn the good or faulty condition of a mosfet Mosfets are Efficient but Complex Devices MOSFETs are outstanding devices when it comes to amplifying or switching of various kinds of loads. […]
Parallel MOSFET Calculator Tool: How to Connect MOSFETs in Parallel Safely
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) […]
How to Replace a Transistor (BJT) with a MOSFET
In this post I have explained the method of correctly replacing a BJT with a MOSFET, without affecting the final outcome of the circuit. Introduction Until MOSFETs arrived in the field of electronics, transistors or BJTs to be precise ruled the power switching circuits and applications. Though even Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) can not be […]
Calculate Battery, Transformer, MOSFET in Inverter
In this post I have explained how to correctly calculate inverter parameters with associated stages such as battery and transformer, by calculating the matching the parameters correctly. Introduction Making an inverter all by yourself can be definitely lot of fun. However if the results are not satisfactory can completely spoil the whole purpose of the […]
