    Looking for tips in using Mosfets to control a 48V 12A circuit with Arduino

    Hi, Build: Arduino controlled water heating tank using a 48V 12A heating element. Arduino is there to deactivate element once set temperature is reached, and to check there is water in the tank so as not to burn out element. So far I have been using chatgpt to try figure out what approach to...

    Question about a control logic needed to be implemented

    Hello everybody.I have to implement the in house circuit cc-ih circuit which is an energy harvester circuit using simscape electrical. The description of the circuit can be found on page 7 of the pdf at Finite element-based assessment of energy harvesting in composite beams with piezoelectric...

    Can I power LEDs of different forward voltages connected in parallel with a single constant current source?

    I am a complete beginner at designing circuits and my English sounds like a 5-year-old talking. So, please beer with me. I was thinking of building an aquarium light. As plants need a full spectrum of light to grow properly, this is the selection of colours I came up with by watching many...

    Buck Boost Converter with MOSFET

    Hello all, Disclosure, I am an electrical engineer but I deal with designing power system for construction projects. I decided to go back for Masters in Power Electronics. I'm rusty with DC circuits. My homework is the same as a previous thread...

    Question about Current Draw and Spikes in Half-Bridge Switching Circuit with RC-Snubber

    Is it okay if the half-bridge switching circuit draws up to 100mA from the power supply at 20kHz because of the RC-snubber between the MOSFETs' drain and source? Without the snubber parts, there's no noticeable current draw, but there are many spikes in the output.

    MOSFET testing Issues

    I'm currently encountering difficulties in testing my MOSFETs. I am in the process of designing a snubber for an IRF840 operating at 20kHz. Upon attempting to test (drive) the MOSFET, at <= 50% duty, in its basic state without any additional circuitry, I observed a 4V voltage drop from the 12V...

    MOSFET - can't control DC Motor

    Hi! I am working on a university project. We are building a vehicle similiar to the BattleBots competition. Everything is working well but I have a problem with a 12 VDC motor controlled with transistor/MOSFET. I am using this motor water pump...

    Two Switch Forward converter with transient spikes on gate to source voltage

    Good day everyone, so I have a problem with my two switch forward converter. As soon as the current increases at the input from around 200mA a transient/spike starts appears at both the turn-on and turn-off of Vgs. The higher I go and push it the bigger the spikes ultimately get, which is...

    Two NMOS in series (steady state)

    Hello, I am stuck on an exercise for a while with the circuit as shown below: We have: \[ V_{DD}=3.3 V \\ V_{tn0}=0.65 V \\ \gamma=0.5 V^{1/2} \\ 2\phi _{f}=0.6 V \\ V_{1}=2.85 V \] The question is: What is the best approximation for V2 in steady state? (a) 0 V (b) 0.65 V (c) 2.2 V (d) 2.65 V...

    Newbie question regarding PCB fry.

    Hi all, I am new to electronics and designed my first circuit. However I fried one of my PCB and trying to determine the root cause. What I am suspecting is caused by a diode polarity that I missed. The PCB was working fine for about an hour or 2 without any issues. Then suddenly it stopped...

    MOSFET configuration doesn't work on very simple circuit

    I have an issue with a very simple small board I designed in EasyEDA pro (I'm a novice so if the answer is easy, my apologies). I'm not sure I correctly connected the MOSFET in the schematic. Reference to Datasheet: https://atta.szlcsc.com/upload/public/pdf/source/20140314/1457707013919.pdf Part...

    Inverter does not deliver the right Voltage

    Hi, I have been working on a duracell 3000 w inverter model drinv3000, long story short, my dad used it with power tools and now it does not work properly, he measured the voltage, and it delivers 104V AC instead of 115. I already checked almost every component on the board (desoldering them...

    How to connect PMOS in parallel

    Hi, we are designing a 48V high side MOSFET switch and we realised that the our mosfet gets too hot. Our solution is to connect additional mosfets in parallel to distribute the load/heat. But I'd like to ask your how to properly connect PMOS in parallel. I read somewhere that the gates should...

    Gate-source voltage waveform in brushless motor drive

    What should be the gate-source voltage waveform of the high side MOSFETs in a brushless motor drive with a trapezoidal control method? Are these parts marked in red in the picture above normal? There is no such thing at the bottom side MOSFETs Schematic: When I reduce the value of R47 and...

    Dual mosfet switch problem

    Hi. I plan to make a pcb that drives peltier and heating pad. Only one of those works at the same time. Load elements are parallel to capacitors. I have very little space on pcb so it would be nice if I could use only one inductor as it is in screenshot. I know it would be easier just to put...

    Mosfets getting damaged and i don't know why

    Hi, I made a really simple PWM generator but the mosfet placed in the circuit keep getting damaged even though they are not heating up. The load in the schematic is a 20ohm heating element but i also tried to replace it with much led and resistor but the mosfet still get damaged after 1 or 2...

    Variable voltage to light a specific led circuit question

    Hello all , I have this circuit that supposed to light a specific led when varDC/DC is 20V And another led when varDC/DC is 15V and so on .. My question is , why do I have to add the mosfet and the voltage divider at the exit of the comparator (the red mark)?? it seems to me that I can...

    Not Getting Desired output for 2:1 Mux (using MOSFET) in LTSpice

    I was trying to design a 2x1 MUX using a CMOS logic. I have used a 180nm library for the mosfets and made the circuits using Transmission gates. For simulation purposes, I have considered Width of PMOS as 3 times the width of NMOS. When S = 0 then the output should be D0 and when S = 1 the...
