Hi,
I'm using a IRFZ44N in a Pic controlled motor on / off circuit which seems to works. I have 2.9 volts on the Gate Pin and 12 volts driving the Motor.
But I don't fully understand the datasheet. Would you be able to help me and confirm if I'm understanding it correctly.
The datasheet appears to be saying, the gate has to be between 2 and 4 volts above the source voltage.
And given that source voltage is normally 0v it has to be between 2&4 volts.
The Data Sheet Says :-
Vgs Gate-to-source Voltage +-20
Vgs(th) 2.0 - 4.0 V
Many thanks
Geoff
