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...
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...
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

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...
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...
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...
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...
Hi Everyone
I have designed simple P-Channel MOSFET Circuit!
it works well.
However, when low Source power is applied(1V), glitch occurs in the output signal.
I tried R,L,C component, But it didn't work
What can I do to get rid of this?
Circuit...
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...
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...
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...
Hello All,
For example, this gate driver from Ti (UCC21520) can drive GaNFET, IGBT, and MOSFET. But can it drive SiC MOSFET?
Or maybe the IGBT Gate Driver (NCV57000) from onsemi, can it drive Si/SiC MOSFETs?
why not a generic gate driver that can drive all switching devices?
Thank you,
There're many articles and videos in the internet saying that FinFET has a big advantage in transistor density, however it's difficult for me to find an example about how one FinFET's fins are actually connected to other electrodes such that the density is increased compared to using MOSFET.
I...
Dear All About Circuits Team,
I hope everyone is doing well,
I have a question about the MOSFET's behaviour, How can I figure out how much heat the Mosfet produces per amp and how much current it can consume when acting as a load?
Below, the Mosfet application shown in the figure, it's an...
Is this circuit okay to drive dc motors with atmega? While sending to one signal input other one will be grounded from microcontroller. If not okay what additions or substractions are needed to create ideal h-bridge for dc motors to drive with atmega?
I was recently asked to use 2 mosfets to make a switch that turns a fan on/off via a PWM pin of an stm32 (this allows a gradual switch-on of the fan and not all at once .. here).
I cannot understand why I need two and not one mosfet.
Maybe it's because having a GPIO PWM [0 ... 3.3]V output that...
I need clarification regarding ROHS compatibility of NVTFS5C471NLWFTAG(n-Channel MOSFET).
Document given by onsemi says
Now, I need to confirm this ROHS compliant or not?
Because the exception calls for “Lead in high melting temperature type solders(i.e. lead based solder alloys...
When RLC is in a resonance state that means the total impedance seen by Vs is just Rs. I see no use in this information.
This problem kinda confuses me because there's no current flowing into the gate of this transistor so there would be no voltage drop in Rs so the amplitude at the gate would...
Here is the circuit:
Here is the solution (taken from the book RF microelectronics by Behzad Razavi):
My attempt:
First i tried to find the gain expression for this circuit, i noticed that M2 is in diode configuration so in the small signal model M2 is equivalent to a resistor (=...
I am trying to use a monostable 555 timer circuit to control a peristaltic pump. But, the timer duration is not consistent. I replaced the fet and motor with LEDs and the timer behaves as expected (on for ~10s with the pot at 1 Mohm). What else do I need to have the timer drive the fet properly...
