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 […]

How to Design MOSFET Power Amplifier Circuits – Parameters Explained
In this post I have explained various parameters that must be considered while designing a MOSFET power amplifier circuit. We also analyze the difference between bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and MOSFET characteristics and understand why MOSFETS are more suitable and efficient for power amplifier applications. Contributed by Daniel Schultz Overview When designing a power amplifier […]
Power Amplifier Circuit using IC 741 and MOSFET
In this post we study a power amplifier design configured using an ordinary IC 741 and a couple of MOSFETs. An operational amplifier’s output power such as from an IC 741 can be typically enhanced when a complementary emitter follower transistor is coupled at its output. The same could also generally be accomplished using a […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
