Hi all,
Re PCB design I have these MOSFETs to drive a motor: STB180N55F3
http://datasheet.digchip.com/456/456-40884-STP180N55F3.pdf
I am going to make a double sided PCB and was wary about Track widths re power disipation.
Based on the motor running full there is a possiblity to run at 50Amps.
This is a fair amount over a PCB.
Has anyone ever designed a board using this dsort of current.
Supply Voltage is 12Vdc.
The datasheet gives a foot print guide but I really feel the trach or surface area is to be around 50mm.
Correct me if I'm mistaken.
The MOSFET is suited to high current with heatsinking.
As mentioned any feedback based on PCB copper layout would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Blair
