I am trying to build a simple pulsing circuit.
I am using a 4093 NAND logic to pulse a IRF510 FET. The NAND has an input v of 12V, output will be about 12 as well.
The threshold for the IRF510 gate is 2-4V.
I have read about pulldown resistors, but don't quite understand them???
Is a pulldown resistor what I need to bring the voltage to threshold voltage range of 2-4V?
How do you determine the resistance needed to do so, or do I need a voltage divider?
Or do I even need to worry about it since the IRF510 Vgs max is 20V?
My other question is how do I determine the resistor needed between the 4093 NAND output and the IRF510 Gate???
