I have IRF530N, the gate of which is being driven by NE556 (Dual 555 timer). I can see the Gate going up untill 5 Volts, My DC motor is connected in the source branch.
Source terminal of MOSFET - > DC motor -> Ground.
I am seeing a huge voltage drop of about 6 volts across Drain and source, and the source being at 2 volts.
Could you tell me why is this drop? as the gate is crossing the minimum threshold, the MOSFET should be in the ON state...right?
am I missing something here...?
Vcc that is being applied = 11 Votls
Here are the links for the two datasheets of
1) rf530n
2) NE556
