If you are wondering or worried about precisely how much power your MOSFET can tolerate under extreme conditions, or under extreme dissipative situations, then the SOA figures of the device is exactly what you should be looking at. In this post we will be comprehensively discussing the Safe Operating Area, or the SOA, as it […]

Understanding MOSFET Current Rating in Datasheets
In this post I will comprehensively explain the current rating of MOSFETs in their datasheets, and helps us to understand how it is calculated by the design engineers, keeping in mind the various external parameters, which potentially impact the current limitations of the device. In simple terms, MOSFET current rating can be defined as the […]
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. […]
DIY 100 Watt MOSFET Amplifier Circuit with PCB
MOSFET based amplifiers as we all know are outstanding with their sound qualities and they can easily beat the performance of other counterparts based on power transistors or linear ICs. Why use MOSFETs in Amplifiers Amplifiers based on mosfets are not always easy to design or make. Moreover after assembling a prototype, testing to perfection […]
High Power 250 Watt MOSFET DJ Amplifier Circuit
The powerful DJ MOSFET amplifier circuit design provided in this article is reasonably easy to build and will produce a thumping 250 watts of music into a 4 ohm loudspeaker. Use of HEXFETs at the output ensures monstrous current and voltage amplification. The involvement of MOSFETs or rather HEXFETs at the output stage of this […]
